Famous quotes containing the word places:

    “‘Whence thou return’st, and whither wentst, I know;
    For God is also in sleep; and dreams advise,
    Which he hath sent propitious, some great good
    Presaging, since, with sorrow and heart’s distress,
    Wearied I fell asleep: but now lead on;
    In me is no delay; without thee here to stay,
    Is to go hence unwilling; thou to me
    Art all things under Heaven, all places thou,”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “The most common error made in matters of appearance is the belief that one should disdain the superficial and let the true beauty of one’s soul shine through. If there are places on your body where this is a possibility, you are not attractive—you are leaking.”
    —Fran Lebowitz (b. 1951)
