Worth

Famous quotes containing the word worth:

    If you would not be forgotten,
    as soon as you are dead and rotten,
    either write things worth reading
    or do things worth the writing.

    I lay the mind’s contents
    Bare, as upon a table,
    And ask, in a time of war,
    Whether there is still
    To a mind frivolously dull
    Anything worth living for.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
