Famous quotes containing the words places of, places and/or interest:

    Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.
    They that are delivered from the noise of archers in the places of
    drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the
    Lord,
    Bible: Hebrew Judges (l. V, 10–11)

    The greatest, or rather the most prominent, part of this city was constructed with the design to offer the deadest resistance to leaden and iron missiles that might be cast against it. But it is a remarkable meteorological and psychological fact, that it is rarely known to rain lead with much violence, except on places so constructed.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Treading the soil of the moon, palpating its pebbles, tasting the panic and splendor of the event, feeling in the pit of one’s stomach the separation from terra ... these form the most romantic sensation an explorer has ever known ... this is the only thing I can say about the matter. The utilitarian results do not interest me.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
