Famous quotes containing the words world and/or grand:
“Alexander at the head of the world never tasted the true pleasure that boys of his own age have enjoyed at the head of a school.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
“The allurement that women hold out to men is precisely the allurement that Cape Hatteras holds out to sailors: they are enormously dangerous and hence enormously fascinating. To the average man, doomed to some banal drudgery all his life long, they offer the only grand hazard that he ever encounters. Take them away, and his existence would be as flat and secure as that of a moo-cow.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
