Famous quotes containing the words world and/or region:
“The world is a business, Mr. Beale. It has been since man crawled out of the slime.”
—Paddy Chayefsky (1923–1981)
“Then, that no region of the universe
Should remain void of life, the floor of heaven
Was peopled with the stars and godlike forms,
The seas became the abode of glittering fish.
Earth took the beasts and mobile air the birds.
A holier animal was wanting.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
