Famous quotes containing the words world, thinking, day and/or themes:

    “Even a minor event in the life of a child is an event of that child’s world and thus a world event.”
    —Gaston Bachelard (1884–1962)

    “Curtsey while you’re thinking what to say. It saves time.”
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    “Shakespeare carries us to such a lofty strain of intelligent activity, as to suggest a wealth which beggars his own; and we then feel that the splendid works which he has created, and which in other hours we extol as a sort of self-existent poetry, take no stronger hold of real nature than the shadow of a passing traveller on the rock. The inspiration which uttered itself in Hamlet and Lear could utter things as good from day to day, for ever.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “In economics, we borrowed from the Bourbons; in foreign policy, we drew on themes fashioned by the nomad warriors of the Eurasian steppes. In spiritual matters, we emulated the braying intolerance of our archenemies, the Shi’ite fundamentalists.”
    —Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
