Famous quotes containing the words alpine and/or world:

—G.C. (Georg Christoph)

“When the whole world is writing letters, it’s easy to lap into the quiet within, tell the story of an hour, keep alive the narrating inner life. To be alone in the presence of one’s thought is not a value, only a common practice.”
