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

    “This might be the end of the world. If Joe lost we were back in slavery and beyond help. It would all be true, the accusations that we were lower types of human beings. Only a little higher than apes. True that we were stupid and ugly and lazy and dirty and, unlucky and worst of all, that God Himself hated us and ordained us to be hewers of wood and drawers of water, forever and ever, world without end.”
    —Maya Angelou (b. 1928)

    “The sky breaks.
    It sags and breathes upon my face.
    in the presence of mine enemies, mine enemies
    The world is full of enemies.
    There is no safe place.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
