Famous quotes containing the words world, match and/or play:

    “Your responsibility as a parent is not as great as you might imagine. You need not supply the world with the next conqueror of disease or a major movie star. If your child simply grows up to be someone who does not use the word “collectible” as a noun, you can consider yourself an unqualified success.”
    —Fran Lebowitz (20th century)

    “Poor Desdemona! I am glad thy father’s dead.
    Thy match was mortal to him, and pure grief
    Shore his old thread in twain.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Anyone who seeks to destroy the passions instead of controlling them is trying to play the angel.”
    —Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
