Famous quotes containing the words world and/or marathon:
“In the operative opinion of the world, he who is already fully provided with what is necessary for him, that man shall have more; while he who is deplorably destitute of the same, he shall have taken away from him even that which he hath. Yet the world vows it is a very plain, downright matter-of-fact, plodding, humane sort of world.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“In their eyes I have seen
the pin men of madness in marathon trim
race round the track of the stadium pupil.”
