Famous quotes containing the word world:
“... laws haven’t the slightest interest for me—except in the world of science, in which they are always changing; or in the world of art, in which they are unchanging; or in the world of Being in which they are, for the most part, unknown.”
—Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
