Set World Record

Famous quotes containing the words set, world and/or record:

“I do not set my life at a pin’s fee,
And for my soul, what can it do to that,
Being a thing immortal as itself?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“The world does not speak. Only we do. The world can, once we have programmed ourselves with a language, cause us to hold beliefs. But it cannot propose a language for us to speak. Only other human beings can do that.”
—Richard Rorty (b. 1931)

“That is what the highest criticism really is, the record of one’s own soul. It is more fascinating than history, as it is concerned simply with oneself. It is more delightful than philosophy, as its subject is concrete and not abstract, real and not vague. It is the only civilised form of autobiography.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
