Famous quotes containing the word places:

    “Words whispered on Earth are heard in Heaven like thunder; evil done in dark places the gods see like lightning.”
    —Chinese proverb.

    “All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you; the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse, and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was.”
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    “A part, a large part, of travelling is an engagement of the ego v. the world.... The world is hydra headed, as old as the rocks and as changing as the sea, enmeshed inextricably in its ways. The ego wants to arrive at places safely and on time.”
    —Sybille Bedford (b. 1911)
