Shelley/places

Famous quotes containing the words shelley and/or places:

    One word is too often profaned
    For me to profane it,
    One feeling too falsely disdained
    For thee to disdain it;
    —Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    All men are lonely. But sometimes it seems to me that we Americans are the loneliest of all. Our hunger for foreign places and new ways has been with us almost like a national disease. Our literature is stamped with a quality of longing and unrest, and our writers have been great wanderers.
    Carson McCullers (1917–1967)
