Famous quotes containing the word world:
“Had we but world enough, and time,
This coyness, lady, were no crime.”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
“I have lately got back to that glorious society called Solitude, where we meet our friends continually, and can imagine the outside world also to be peopled. Yet some of my acquaintance would fain hustle me into the almshouse for the sake of society, as if I were pining for that diet, when I seem to myself a most befriended man, and find constant employment. However, they do not believe a word I say.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
