World Quotes (page 399)

The world has changed. I see it in the water. I feel it in the Earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost, For none now live who remember it. J. R. R. Tolkien
Deborah Tannen quote: "A perfectly tuned conversation is a vision of sanity--a..."
A perfectly tuned conversation is a vision of sanity--a ratification of one's way of being human and one's way in the world. Deborah Tannen
Betty Smith quote: "From that moment on, the world was hers for the reading. She..."
From that moment on, the world was hers for the reading. She would never be lonely again. Betty Smith

The world is alive and no living thing has any remedy. That is our fortune. Roberto Bolano
The frog is almost five hundred million years old. Could you really say with much certainty that America, with all its strength and prosperity, with its fighting man that is second to none, and with its standard of living that is highest in the world, will last as long as...the frog? Joseph Heller
Ayn Rand quote: "The world you desire can be won, it exists, it is real, it is..."
The world you desire can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours. Ayn Rand
Arthur Conan Doyle quote: "I wanted to end the world but, I'll settle for ending yours."
I wanted to end the world but, I'll settle for ending yours. Arthur Conan Doyle
The whole world is, to me, very much "alive" - all the little growing things, even the rocks. I can't look at a swell bit of grass and earth, for instance, without feeling the essential life - the things going on - within them. The same goes for a mountain, or a bit of the ocean, or a magnificent piece of old wood. Ansel Adams
Sonny, don't you tell me what's worthwhile--true love is the best thing in the world, except for cough drops. Everybody knows that. William Goldman
The master observes the world but trusts his inner vision. He allows things to come and go. He prefers what is within to what is without. Lao Tzu
A new sickness invaded Jerry, the sickness of knowing what he had become, another animal, another beast, another violent person in a violent world, inflicting damage, not disturbing the universe but damaging it. Robert Cormier
My books are a subject of much discussion. They pour from shelves onto tables, chairs and the floor, and Chaz observes that I haven’t read many of them and I never will. You just never know. One day I may — need is the word I use — to read Finnegans Wake, the Icelandic sagas, Churchill’s history of the Second World War, the complete Tintin in French, 47 novels by Simenon, and By Love Possessed. Roger Ebert
In all great works of fiction, regardless of the grim reality they present, there is an affirmation of life against the transience of that life, an essential defiance. This affirmation lies in the way the author takes control of reality by retelling it in his own way, thus creating a new world. Every great work of art, I would declare pompously, is a celebration, an act of insubordination against the betrayals, horrors and infidelities of life. The perfection and beauty of form rebels... Azar Nafisi
As the saying goes, it takes all kinds to make the world go around, though perhaps some shouldn't go quite so far around it as others. Bill Bryson
