Famous quotes containing the words raw and/or world:
“—‘I wish I had feathers, a fine sweeping gown,
And a delicate face, and could strut about Town!’—
‘My dear—a raw country girl, such as you be,
Cannot quite expect that. You ain’t ruined,’ said she.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
“Think what a mean and wretched place this world is; that half the time we have to light a lamp that we may see to live in it. This is half our life. Who would undertake the enterprise if it were all?”
