Everybody has a world, and that world is completely hidden until we begin to inquire. As soon as we do, that entire world opens to us and yields itself. And you see how full and complex it is.

The whole world appears to me like a huge vacuum, a vast empty space, whence nothing desirable, or at least satisfactory, can possibly be derived; and I long daily to die more and more to it; even though I obtain not that comfort from spiritual things which I earnestly desire.

It's different cultures that make the world go 'round at the end of the day.

We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will.

As the blessings of health and fortune have a beginning, so they must also find an end. Everything rises but to fall, and increases but to decay.

The world is bad but not without hope. It is only hopeless when you look at it from an ideal viewpoint.

There's a destiny for everybody. The world is set up - as foreign as that can be to some people who are very materialistic - but there is a force in this world, once we step into it, that opens doors for us, that gives us a sense of purpose and the greatest life there is, in my view.

The world's a forest, in which all lose their way; though by a different path each goes astray.

The world gets very small after a while, if you stick around long enough.
