World Quotes (page 425)

What I hate is the thought of being under a man's thumb," I had told Doctor Nolan. "A man doesn't have a worry in the world, while I've got a baby hanging over my head like a big stick, to keep me in line. Sylvia Plath
Maybe the world was like a revolving door, it occurred to him as his consciousness was fading away. And which section you ended up in was just a matter of where your foot happened to fall. Haruki Murakami
John Lennon quote: "The more real you get the more unreal the world gets."
The more real you get the more unreal the world gets. John Lennon
The married man and the mother of a Christian family, if they are faithful to their obligations, will fulfill a mission that is as great as it is consoling: that of bringing into the world and forming young souls capable of happiness and love, souls capable of sanctification and transformation in Christ. Thomas Merton
He loved Arthur and he loved Guenever and he hated himself. The best knight of the world: everybody envied the self-esteem which must surely be his. But Lancelot never believed he was good or nice. Under the grotesque, magnificent shell with a face like Quasimodo's, there was shame and self-loathing which had been planted there when he was tiny, by something which it is now too late to trace. T. H. White
There is a taint of death, a flavour of mortality in lies - which is exactly what I hate and detest in the world - what I want to forget. Joseph Conrad
The Hopi Indians thought that the world’s religions each contained one spiritual thread, and that these threads are always seeking each other, wanting to join. When all the threads are finally woven together they will form a rope that will pull us out of this dark cycle of history and into the next realm. Elizabeth Gilbert
Robert Penn Warren quote: "The lack of a sense of history is the damnation of the modern..."
The lack of a sense of history is the damnation of the modern world. Robert Penn Warren
I am quite likely to re-act to the opposite extreme - to feel rapturously that the world is beautiful and mere existence something to thank God for. I suppose our 'blues' are the price we have to pay for our temperament. 'The gods don't allow us to be in their debt.' They give us sensitiveness to beauty in all its forms but the shadow of the gift goes with it. L. M. Montgomery
Beauty is a form of Genius--is higher, indeed, than Genius, as it needs no explanation. It is one of the great facts of the world, like sunlight, or springtime, or the reflection in the dark waters of that silver shell we call the moon. It cannot be questioned. It has divine right of sovereignty. It makes princes of those who have it. Oscar Wilde
You Christians look after a document containing enough dynamite to blow all civilisation to pieces, turn the world upside down and bring peace to a battle-torn planet. But you treat it as though it is nothing more than a piece of literature. Mahatma Gandhi
Herman Hesse quote: "I felt knowledge and the unity of the world circulate in me..."
I felt knowledge and the unity of the world circulate in me like my own blood. Herman Hesse
Marilyn Monroe quote: "Beneath the makeup and behind the smile I am just a girl who..."
Beneath the makeup and behind the smile I am just a girl who wishes for the world. Marilyn Monroe
We went to the New York World's Fair, saw what the past had been like, according to the Ford Motor Car Company and Walt Disney, saw what the future would be like, according to General Motors. And I asked myself about the present: how wide it was, how deep it was, how much was mine to keep. Kurt Vonnegut
Oscar Wilde quote: "The nicest feeling in the world is to do a good deed..."
The nicest feeling in the world is to do a good deed anonymously-and have somebody find out. Oscar Wilde
