Famous quotes containing the words monuments, places and/or interest:

    “If the Revolution has the right to destroy bridges and art monuments whenever necessary, it will stop still less from laying its hand on any tendency in art which, no matter how great its achievement in form, threatens to disintegrate the revolutionary environment or to arouse the internal forces of the Revolution, that is, the proletariat, the peasantry and the intelligentsia, to a hostile opposition to one another. Our standard is, clearly, political, imperative and intolerant.”
    —Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)

    “The places which I have described may seem strange and remote to my townsmen ... our account may have made no impression on your minds. But what is our account? In it there is no roar, no beach-birds, no tow-cloth.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The moral sense is always supported by the permanent interest of the parties. Else, I know not how, in our world, any good would ever get done.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
