Famous quotes containing the words world and/or terms:
“‘Where is the world?’ cries Young, at eighty. ‘Where
The world in which a man was born?’”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“My father and I were always on the most distant terms when I was a boy—a sort of armed neutrality, so to speak. At irregular intervals this neutrality was broken, and suffering ensued; but I will be candid enough to say that the breaking and the suffering were always divided up with strict impartiality between us—which is to say, my father did the breaking, and I did the suffering.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
