Famous quotes containing the word places:

    When our hatred is too fierce, it places us beneath those we hate.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    There are other places at which ... the laws have said there shall be towns; but Nature has said there shall not, and they remain unworthy of enumeration.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    All of childhood’s unanswered questions must finally be passed back to the town and answered there. Heroes and bogey men, values and dislikes, are first encountered and labeled in that early environment. In later years they change faces, places and maybe races, tactics, intensities and goals, but beneath those penetrable masks they wear forever the stocking-capped faces of childhood.
    Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
