Famous quotes containing the words north and/or london:
“Civilization does not engross all the virtues of humanity: she has not even her full share of them. They flourish in greater abundance and attain greater strength among many barbarous people. The hospitality of the wild Arab, the courage of the North American Indian, and the faithful friendships of some of the Polynesian nations, far surpass any thing of a similar kind among the polished communities of Europe.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“...of all the shoddy foreigners one encounters, there are none so depressing as the London shoddy.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
