World

"Fly away, pretty moth, to the shade Of the leaf where you slumbered all day; Be content with the moon and the stars, pretty moth, And make use of your wings while you may. * * * * * * But tho dreams of delight may have dazzled you quite, They at last found it dangerous play; Many things in this world that look bright, pretty moth, Only dazzle to lead us astray."

"For some must watch, while some must sleep; So runs the world away."

"Quel est-il en effet? Cest un verre qui luit, Quun souffle peut detruire, et quun souffle a produit."

"The wide world is all before us— But a world without a friend."

"Vien dietro a me, e lascia dir le genti."

"O world as God has made it! All is beauty."

"The world is like a board with holes in it, and the square men have got into the round holes, and the round into the square."

"I have my beauty,—you your Art— Nay, do not start: One world was not enough for two Like me and you."

"The worlds a stage where Gods omnipotence, His justice, knowledge, love and providence, Do act the parts."

"Tis pleasant, through the loopholes of retreat, To peep at such a world; to see the stir Of the Great Babel, and not feel the crowd."

"I feel like I live in a world made of cardboard. Always taking constant care not to break something. To break someone. Never allowing myself to lose control, even for a moment, or someone could die."

"If you choose to represent the various parts in life by holes upon a table, of different shapes,—some circular, some triangular, some square, some oblong,—and the persons acting these parts by bits of wood of similar shapes, we shall generally find that the triangular person has got into the square hole, the oblong into the triangular, and a square person has squeezed himself into the round hole. The officer and the office, the doer and the thing done, seldom fit so exactly that we can say they were almost made for each other."
