Famous quotes containing the words places and/or interest:
“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)
“One must either take an interest in the human situation or else parade before the void.”
—Jean Rostand (1894–1977)
