Famous quotes containing the words world and/or records:

    Orthodoxy is the Bourbon of the world of thought. It learns not, neither can it forget.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    Philosophy, astronomy, and politics were marked at zero, I remember. Botany variable, geology profound as regards the mud stains from any region within fifty miles of town, chemistry eccentric, anatomy unsystematic, sensational literature and crime records unique, violin player, boxer, swordsman, lawyer, and self-poisoner by cocaine and tobacco.
    Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
