Famous quotes containing the words east and/or london:
“Though the words Canada East on the map stretch over many rivers and lakes and unexplored wildernesses, the actual Canada, which might be the colored portion of the map, is but a little clearing on the banks of the river, which one of those syllables would more than cover.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I’m an orphan. I’ve come to London to make my fortune.”
—Vernon Harris (c. 1910)
