Famous quotes containing the words the world and/or world:

    “It is not quite the same when we are seventy-two as when we are twenty-seven; still I am glad of what is left, and wish we might both hold out till the victory we have sought is won, but all the same the victory is coming. In the aftertime the world will be the better for it.”
    —Lucy Stone (1818–1893)

    “Truth is a pain which will not stop. And the truth of this world is to die. You must choose: either dying or lying. Personally, I have never been able to kill myself.”
    —Louis-Ferdinand Céline (1894–1961)
