Famous quotes containing the words raw and/or world:
“One farmer says to me, “You cannot live on vegetable food solely, for it furnishes nothing to make bones with;” and so he religiously devotes a part of his day to supplying his system with the raw material of bones; walking all the while he talks behind his oxen, which, with vegetable-made bones, jerk him and his lumbering plow along in spite of every obstacle.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The world is not merely the world. It is our world. It is not merely an industrial world. It is, above all things, a human world.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
