Famous quotes containing the word place:
“Congress has scarcely any thing to employ them, and complain that the place [Washington, D.C.] is remarkably dull.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“Anyone, however, who has had dealings with dates knows that they are worse than elusive, they are perverse. Events do not happen at the right time, nor in their proper sequence. That sense of harmony with place and season which is so stong in the historian—if he be a readable historian—is lamentably lacking in history, which takes no pains to verify his most convincing statements.”
—Agnes Repplier (1858–1950)
