Famous quotes containing the words places and/or interest:
“All places are alike,
And every earth is fit for burial.”
—Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)
“You do not mean by mystery what a Catholic does. You mean an interesting uncertainty: the uncertainty ceasing interest ceases also.... But a Catholic by mystery means an incomprehensible certainty: without certainty, without formulation there is no interest;... the clearer the formulation the greater the interest.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
