Famous quotes containing the words places of, places and/or interest:

    “Schools and schoolmasters, as we have them today, are not popular as places of education and teachers, but rather prisons and turnkeys in which children are kept to prevent them disturbing and chaperoning their parents.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “But those rare souls whose spirit gets magically into the hearts of men, leave behind them something more real and warmly personal than bodily presence, an ineffable and eternal thing. It is everlasting life touching us as something more than a vague, recondite concept. The sound of a great name dies like an echo; the splendor of fame fades into nothing; but the grace of a fine spirit pervades the places through which it has passed, like the haunting loveliness of mignonette.”
    —James Thurber (1894–1961)

    “Opinions are a private matter. The public has an interest only in judgments.”
    —Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
