Famous quotes containing the word places:

    “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)

    “Whoever places his trust into a system will soon be without a home. While you are building your third story, the two lower ones have already been dismantled.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
