Famous quotes containing the words world, cup and/or group:
“The world rolls round,mistrust it not,
Befalls again what once befell;
All things return, both sphere and mote,
And I shall hear my bluebirds note,
And dream the dream of Auburn dell.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“If you desire to drain to the dregs the fullest cup of scorn and hatred that a fellow human being can pour out for you, let a young mother hear you call dear baby it.”
—Jerome K. Jerome (18591927)
“He hung out of the window a long while looking up and down the street. The worlds second metropolis. In the brick houses and the dingy lamplight and the voices of a group of boys kidding and quarreling on the steps of a house opposite, in the regular firm tread of a policeman, he felt a marching like soldiers, like a sidewheeler going up the Hudson under the Palisades, like an election parade, through long streets towards something tall white full of colonnades and stately. Metropolis.”
—John Dos Passos (18961970)
