World

Famous quotes containing the word world:

    I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano,

    And mine a sad one.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Camp is a vision of the world in terms of style—but a particular kind of style. It is the love of the exaggerated, the “off,” of things-being-what-they-are-not.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    Oh, men are jailers all; jailers of themselves; and in Opinion’s world ignorantly hold their noblest part a captive to their vilest.
