Famous quotes containing the words world and/or burns:
“We could say, then, that man is an instrument the world employs to renew its own image constantly.”
—Italo Calvino (1923–1985)
“It is because everything is relative
That we shall never see in that sphere of pure wisdom and
Entertainment much more than groping shadows of an incomplete
Former existence so close it burns like the mouth that
Closes down over all your effort like the moment
Of death”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
