Richard Henderson (jurist) - Place Names

Famous quotes containing the words place and/or names:

“A belief which leaves no place for doubt is not a belief; it is a superstition.”
—José Bergamín (1895–1983)

“The instincts of merry England lingered on here with exceptional vitality, and the symbolic customs which tradition has attached to each season of the year were yet a reality on Egdon. Indeed, the impulses of all such outlandish hamlets are pagan still: in these spots homage to nature, self-adoration, frantic gaieties, fragments of Teutonic rites to divinities whose names are forgotten, seem in some way or other to have survived mediaeval doctrine.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
