Famous quotes containing the words hotel and/or world:
“Consider his life which was valueless
In terms of employment, hotel ledgers, news files.
Consider. One bullet in ten thousand kills a man.
Ask. Was so much expenditure justified
On the death of one so young and so silly
Lying under the olive tree, O world, O death?”
—Stephen Spender (1909–1995)
“There is nothing outside of us that is not at the same time in us, and as the external world has its colors the eye, too, has colors.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
