Famous quotes containing the words wonders and/or world:
“Do you think the porter and the cook have no anecdotes, no experiences, no wonders for you? Every body knows as much as the savant. The walls of rude minds are scrawled all over with facts, with thoughts. They shall one day bring a lantern and read the inscriptions.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“But the world itself has no reason, and I can say so, I who have experienced it all, from the creation to the destruction.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
