Famous quotes containing the words rest of, rest and/or world:

    “The people of the United States have been fortunate in many things. One of the things in which we have been most fortunate has been that so far, due perhaps to certain basic virtues in our traditional ways of doing things, we have managed to keep the crisis of western civilization, which has devastated the rest of the world and in which we are as much involved as anybody, more or less at arm’s length.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    “and if the day
    is no day for miracles, then the preparations
    are an order one may rest in.
    But one doesn’t want
    rest, one wants miracles.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “The earth is the earth as a peasant sees it, the world is the world as a duchess sees it, and anyway a duchess would be nothing if the earth was not there as the peasant sees it.”
    —Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
