Famous quotes containing the words iowa and/or corn:
“When I was growing up I used to think that the best thing about coming from Des Moines was that it meant you didn’t come from anywhere else in Iowa. By Iowa standards, Des Moines is a mecca of cosmopolitanism, a dynamic hub of wealth and education, where people wear three-piece suits and dark socks, often simultaneously.”
—Bill Bryson (b. 1951)
“... a tin-horn politician with the manner of a rural corn doctor and the mien of a ham actor.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
