Famous quotes containing the words the world, volume and/or world:

    “Two principles, according to the Settembrinian cosmogony, were in perpetual conflict for possession of the world: force and justice, tyranny and freedom, superstition and knowledge; the law of permanence and the law of change, of ceaseless fermentation issuing in progress. One might call the first the Asiatic, the second the European principle.”
    —Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

    “The other 1000 are principally the ‘old Yankee stock,’ who have lost the town, politically, to the Portuguese; who deplore the influx of the ‘off-Cape furriners’; and to whom a volume of genealogy is a piece of escape literature.”
    —For the State of Massachusetts, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “If all things were eternall,
    And nothing their end bringing;
    If this should be, then how should we
    Here make an end of singing?”
    —Unknown. If All the World Were Paper (l. 21–24)
