Iowa State

Famous quotes containing the words iowa and/or state:

“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)

“some strange comfort every state attend,
And pride bestowed on all, a common friend;”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
