Famous quotes containing the words fourth and/or world:

    “‘Tis said of love that it sometimes goes, sometimes flies; runs with one, walks gravely with another; turns a third into ice, and sets a fourth in a flame: it wounds one, another it kills: like lightning it begins and ends in the same moment: it makes that fort yield at night which it besieged but in the morning; for there is no force able to resist it.”
    —Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)

    “Together, we three, until the world crumbles and there is no longer a stone or a rock or a tree or a blade of grass.”
    —Griffin Jay, and Harold Young. Mehemet Bey (Turhan Bey)
