Famous quotes containing the words the world and/or world:
“... my aim is now, as it has been for the past ten years, to make myself a true woman, one worthy of the name, and one who will unshrinkingly follow the path which God marks out, one whose aim is to do all of the good she can in the world and not be one of the delicate little dolls or the silly fools who make up the bulk of American women, slaves to society and fashion.”
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (18421911)
“Reason is mans faculty for grasping the world by thought, in contradiction to intelligence, which is mans ability to manipulate the world with the help of thought. Reason is mans instrument for arriving at the truth, intelligence is mans instrument for manipulating the world more successfully; the former is essentially human, the latter belongs to the animal part of man.”
—Erich Fromm (19001980)
