Famous quotes containing the words the world and/or world:
“Two principles, according to the Settembrinian cosmogony, were in perpetual conflict for possession of the world: force and justice, tyranny and freedom, superstition and knowledge; the law of permanence and the law of change, of ceaseless fermentation issuing in progress. One might call the first the Asiatic, the second the European principle.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“For, the experience of each new age requires a new confession, and the world seems always waiting for its poet.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
