Famous quotes containing the word places:

    “The places we have known do not only belong to the world of space in which we situate them for the sake of simplicity. They were but a thin slice between contiguous impression which formed our lives back then; the memory of a certain image is but the regret of a certain instant; and the houses, the roads, the avenues are fleeting, alas! as the years.”
    —Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    “Words whispered on Earth are heard in Heaven like thunder; evil done in dark places the gods see like lightning.”
    —Chinese proverb.

    “There are other places at which ... the laws have said there shall be towns; but Nature has said there shall not, and they remain unworthy of enumeration.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
