Hub World

Famous quotes containing the words hub and/or world:

    “When I was growing up I used to think that the best thing about coming from Des Moines was that it meant you didn’t come from anywhere else in Iowa. By Iowa standards, Des Moines is a mecca of cosmopolitanism, a dynamic hub of wealth and education, where people wear three-piece suits and dark socks, often simultaneously.”
    —Bill Bryson (b. 1951)

    “The world is full of judgment-days, and into every assembly that a man enters, in every action he attempts, he is gauged and stamped.”
