Famous quotes containing the word world:

    The rhetorician would deceive his neighbours,
    The sentimentalist himself; while art
    Is but a vision of reality.
    What portion in the world can the artist have
    Who has awakened from the common dream
    But dissipation and despair?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
