Real World

Famous quotes containing the words real and/or world:

“The apparent rulers of the English nation are like the imposing personages of a splendid procession: it is by them the mob are influenced; it is they whom the spectators cheer. The real rulers are secreted in second-rate carriages; no one cares for them or asks after them, but they are obeyed implicitly and unconsciously by reason of the splendour of those who eclipsed and preceded them.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)

“The world is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those who feel.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
