Famous quotes containing the words exchange and/or place:
“I sometimes feel a great ennui, profound emptiness, doubts which sneer in my face in the midst of the most spontaneous satisfactions. Well, I would not exchange all that for anything, because it seems to me, in my conscience, that I am doing my duty, that I am obeying a superior fatality, that I am following the Good and that I am in the Right.”
—Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)
“Congress has scarcely any thing to employ them, and complain that the place [Washington, D.C.] is remarkably dull.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
