Gallery Place

Famous quotes containing the words gallery and/or place:

    I should like to have seen a gallery of coronation beauties, at Westminster Abbey, confronted for a moment by this band of Island girls; their stiffness, formality, and affectation contrasted with the artless vivacity and unconcealed natural graces of these savage maidens. It would be the Venus de’ Medici placed beside a milliner’s doll.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    There is the eternal war between those who are in the world for what they can get out of it and those who are in the world to make it a better place for everybody to live in.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
