Famous quotes containing the words world and/or cultures:
“The world will only, in the end, follow those who have despised as well as served it.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“Every age, every culture, every custom and tradition has its own character, its own weakness and its own strength, its beauties and cruelties; it accepts certain sufferings as matters of course, puts up patiently with certain evils. Human life is reduced to real suffering, to hell, only when two ages, two cultures and religions overlap.”
