Famous quotes containing the words famous and/or inhabitants:
“Did you ever stop to think why cops are always famous for being dumb? Simple. Because they don’t have to be anything else.”
—Orson Welles (1915–1985)
“Our woods are sylvan, and their inhabitants woodmen and rustics; that is selvaggia, and the inhabitants are salvages. A civilized man, using the word in the ordinary sense, with his ideas and associations, must at length pine there, like a cultivated plant, which clasps its fibres about a crude and undissolved mass of peat.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
