Famous quotes containing the words merry, hill, shopping and/or centre:

    “Small cheer and great welcome makes a merry feast.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “I have felt darkness lead me by the hand
    Over the hill to greet the singing dawn....”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “The most important fact about our shopping malls, as distinct from the ordinary shopping centers where we go for our groceries, is that we do not need most of what they sell, not even for our pleasure or entertainment, not really even for a sensation of luxury. Little in them is essential to our survival, our work, or our play, and the same is true of the boutiques that multiply on our streets.”
    —Henry Fairlie (1924–1990)

    “To live and die amongst foreigners may seem less absurd than to live persecuted or tortured by one’s fellow countrymen.... But to emigrate is always to dismantle the centre of the world, and so to move into a lost, disoriented one of fragments.”
    —John Berger (b. 1926)
