World Quotes

The world is not comprehensible, but it is embraceable: through the embracing of one of its beings.

Martin Buber

The world is full of hopeful analogies and handsome, dubious eggs, called possibilities.

George Eliot

Mama, the more I know of the world, the more I am convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love.

Jane Austen

The whole world is divided for me into two parts: one is she, and there is all happiness, hope, light; the other is where she is not, and there is dejection and darkness...

Leo Tolstoy

The world is in your hands, now use it.

Phil Collins

Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.

Mark Twain

We could have saved the Earth but we were too damned cheap.

Kurt Vonnegut

jika sebuah mata harus dibalas dengan sebuah mata, hanya akan membuat seluruh dunia ini buta

Mahatma Gandhi

The world is a fine place and worth the fighting for and I hate very much to leave it.

Ernest Hemingway

That illusion of a world so shaped that it echoes every groan, of human beings so tied together by common needs and fears that a twitch at one wrist jerks another, where however strange your experience other people have had it too, where however far you travel in your own mind someone has been there before you - - is all an illusion. We do not know our own souls, let alone the souls of others. Human beings do not go hand in hand the whole stretch of the way. There is a virgin forest in each; a snowfield where even the print of birds' feet is unknown. Here we go alone, and like it better so. Always to have sympathy, always to be accompanied, always to be understood would be intolerable.

Virginia Woolf

Beauty is one of the great facts of the world, like sunlight,or springtime, or the reflection in dark waters of that silver shell we call the moon. You have only a few years in which to live really, perfectly, and fully. When your youth goes, your beauty will go with it, and then you will suddenly discover that there are no triumphs left for you...Time is jealous of you, and wars against your lilies and your roses. You will become sallow, and hollow-cheeked, and dull-eyed...Ah! realise your youth while you have it. Don't squander the gold of your days, listening to the tedious, trying to improve the hopeless, or giving away your life to the ignorant, the common, and the vulgar...Live! Live the wonderful life that is in you! Let nothing be lost upon you. Be always searching for new sensations. Be afraid of nothing...The world belongs to you for a season...how tragic it would be if you were wasted. For there is such a little time that your youth will last. The common hillflowers wither, but they blossom again. The laburnum will be as yellow next June as it is now. In a month there will be purple stars on the clematis, and year after year the green night of its leaves will hold its purple stars. But we never get back our youth. The pulse of joy that beats in us at twenty, becomes sluggish. Our limbs fail, our senses rot. We degenerate into hideous puppets, haunted by the memory of the passions of which we were too much afraid, and the exquisite temptations that we had not the courage to yield to...Youth! Youth! There is absolutely nothing in the world but youth.

Oscar Wilde

The traveller's-eye view of men and women is not satisfying. A man might spend his life in trains and restaurants and know nothing of humanity at the end. To know, one must be an actor as well as a spectator.

Aldous Huxley

The world remains ever the same.

Johann von Goethe

We are all humiliated by the sudden discovery of a fact which has existed very comfortably and perhaps been staring at us in private while we have been making up our world entirely without it.

George Eliot

The best thing about the world is that it has a mysterious structure and the worst thing is that it has a grievous structure.

Kedar Joshi

The world is truly beautiful solely in the eyes of a true philosopher.

Kedar Joshi

God had created the world in play.

Sri Ramakrishna

The earth is the very quintessence of the human condition.

Hannah Arendt

The world does owe you a living, but it doesn't home deliver.

Saunders

The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is at all comprehensible.

Albert Einstein
