World Stopped Turning

Famous quotes containing the words world, stopped and/or turning:

    It is impossible to give a clear account of the world, but art can teach us to reproduce it—just as the world reproduces itself in the course of its eternal gyrations. The primordial sea indefatigably repeats the same words and casts up the same astonished beings on the same sea-shore.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    Who has ever stopped to think of the divinity of Lamont Cranston?
    Imamu Amiri Baraka (b. 1934)

    made of earth and sea
    His overcoat for ever,
    And wears the turning globe.
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)
