Famous quotes containing the word centres:

    “I perceive that in these woods the earliest settlements are, for various reasons, clustering about the lakes, but partly, I think, for the sake of the neighborhood as the oldest clearings. They are forest schools already established,—great centres of light.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
