Famous quotes containing the words world, busiest and/or airport:

    The world leaves no track in space, and the greatest action of man no mark in the vast idea.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The feeling of being hurried is not usually the result of living a full life and having no time. It is on the contrary born of a vague fear that we are wasting our life. When we do not do the one thing we ought to do, we have no time for anything else—we are the busiest people in the world.
    Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

    It was like taking a beloved person to the airport and returning to an empty house. I miss the people. I miss the world.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
