Worldly Quotes (page 611)

We are the music-makers, And we are the dreamers of dreams, Wandering by lone sea-breakers, And sitting by desolate streams. World-losers and world-forsakers, Upon whom the pale moon gleams; Yet we are the movers and shakers, Of the world forever, it seems. Arthur O'Shaughnessy
Karl Lagerfeld quote: "We live in a dark and romantic and quite tragic world."

If nothing we do in this world matters, then the only thing that matters is what we do. Joss Whedon
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense.

Rudyard Kipling quote: "Fiction is Truth's elder sister. Obviously. No one in the..."
Fiction is Truth's elder sister. Obviously. No one in the world knew what truth was till some one had told a story. Rudyard Kipling
Consciously or unconsciously, every one of us does render some service or another. If we cultivate the habit of doing this service deliberately, our desire for service will steadily grow stronger, and it will make not only for our own happiness, but that of the world at large. Mahatma Gandhi
The sun sank with a sob and darkness waded in from all horizons so that the sky contracted and there was no more light left in the world, when, at this very moment of annihilation, the moon, as though she had been waiting for her cue, sailed up the night. Mervyn Peake
We knew that it would soon be over, and so we put it all into a poem, to tell the universe who we were, and why we were here, and what we said and did and thought and dreamed and yearned for. We wrapped our dreams in words and patterned the words so that they would live forever, unforgettable. Then we sent the poem as a pattern of flux, to wait in the heart of a star, beaming out its message in pulses and bursts and fuzzes across the electromagnetic spectrum, until the time when, on worlds a...

Paramahansa Yogananda quote: "Roam in the world as a lion of self-control; see that the..."
Roam in the world as a lion of self-control; see that the frogs of weakness don’t kick you around. Paramahansa Yogananda
A fairy tale...on the other hand, demands of the reader total surrender; so long as he is in its world, there must be for him no other. W. H. Auden
She loved books. She loved them with her senses and her intellect. They way they looked and smelled; the way they felt in her hands; the way the pages seemed to murmur as she turned them. Everything there is in the world, she thought, is in books. Betty Smith
I get up out of bed. I pull back the old, faded curtain and open the window. I stick my head out and look up at the sky. Sure enough, a mouldy-coloured half-moon hangs in the sky. Good. We’re both looking at the same moon, in the same world. We’re connected to reality by the same line. All I have to do is quietly draw it towards me. Haruki Murakami
