Virtual Worlds

Famous quotes containing the words virtual and/or worlds:

    Tragedy dramatizes human life as potentiality and fulfillment. Its virtual future, or Destiny, is therefore quite different from that created in comedy. Comic Destiny is Fortune—what the world will bring, and the man will take or miss, encounter or escape; tragic Destiny is what the man brings, and the world will demand of him. That is his Fate.
    Susanne K. Langer (1895–1985)

    Ah! as the heart grows older
    It will come to such sights colder
    By and by, not spare a sigh
    Though worlds of wanwood leafmeal lie;
    And yet you will weep and know why.
    Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
