Famous quotes containing the words places and/or interest:

    “In many places the road was in that condition called repaired, having just been whittled into the required semicylindrical form with the shovel and scraper, with all the softest inequalities in the middle, like a hog’s back with the bristles up.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “My interest in desperation lies only in that sometimes I find myself having become desperate. Very seldom do I start out that way. I can see of course that, in the abstract, thinking and all activity is rather desperate.”
    —Willem De Kooning (b. 1904)
