World Heritage Status

Famous quotes containing the words world, heritage and/or status:

    Sound, sound the clarion, fill the fife!
    Throughout the sensual world proclaim,
    One crowded hour of glorious life
    Is worth an age without a name.
    Thomas Osbert Mordaunt (1730–1809)

    There are some things which cannot be learned quickly, and time, which is all we have, must be paid heavily for their acquiring. They are the very simplest things and because it takes a man’s life to know them the little new that each man gets from life is very costly and the only heritage he has to leave.
    Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    As a work of art it has the same status as a long conversation between two not very bright drunks.
    Clive James (b. 1939)
