Famous quotes containing the words world and/or festivals:
“In this world of sin and sorrow there is always something to be thankful for. As for me, I rejoice that I am not a Republican.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“This is certainly not the place for a discourse about what festivals are for. Discussions on this theme were plentiful during that phase of preparation and on the whole were fruitless. My experience is that discussion is fruitless. What sets forth and demonstrates is the sight of events in action, is living through these events and understanding them.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
