World Wide Wrestling

Famous quotes containing the words world, wide and/or wrestling:

    Is not the whole world a vast house of assignation of which the filing system has been lost?
    Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)

    Yet therein now doth lodge a noble peer,
    Great England’s glory and the world’s wide wonder,
    Whose dreadful name late through all Spain did thunder,
    Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)

    We laugh at him who steps out of his room at the very moment when the sun steps out, and says: “I will the sun to rise”; and at him who cannot stop the wheel, and says: “I will it to roll”; and at him who is taken down in a wrestling match, and says: “I lie here, but I will that I lie here!” And yet, all laughter aside, do we ever do anything other than one of these three things when we use the expression, “I will”?
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
