Famous quotes containing the words historic and/or place:
“If there is any period one would desire to be born in, is it not the age of Revolution; when the old and the new stand side by side, and admit of being compared; when the energies of all men are searched by fear and by hope; when the historic glories of the old can be compensated by the rich possibilities of the new era?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Heaven might be defined as the place which men avoid.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
