Famous quotes containing the words world and/or indoor:

    We need not be theologians to see that we have shifted responsibility for making the world interesting from God to the newspaperman.
    Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)

    As a man grows older, his ability to sit still and follow indoor occupations increases. He grows vespertinal in his habits as the evening of life approaches, till at last he comes forth only just before sundown, and gets all the walk that he requires in half an hour.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
