Famous quotes containing the words world and/or group:

    “All is changed. All looks strange to me and gives me a feeling which I would rather get away from, although I know it to be the carrying out of natural laws. And I am not complaining. I am doing the same as many old people have done, I suppose, who have led an active life and suddenly find themselves living without a purpose. Oh, my heart is so full. I could write a big book on the subject of going out of this world gracefully.”
    —Maria D. Brown (1827–1927)

    “The conflict between the need to belong to a group and the need to be seen as unique and individual is the dominant struggle of adolescence.”
    —Jeanne Elium (20th century)
