Connolly/places

Famous quotes containing the words connolly and/or places:

    Words today are like the shells and rope of seaweed which a child brings home glistening from the beach and which in an hour have lost their lustre.
    —Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

    [University students] hated the hypocrisy of adult society, the rigidity of its political institutions, the impersonality of its bureaucracies. They sought to create a society that places human values before materialistic ones, that has a little less head and a little more heart, that is dominated by self-interest and loves its neighbor more. And they were persuaded that group protest of a militant nature would advance those goals.
    Muriel Beadle (b. 1915)
