Greer/places

Famous quotes containing the words greer and/or places:

“Loneliness is never more cruel than when it is felt in close propinquity with someone who has ceased to communicate.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)

“The places we have known do not only belong to the world of space in which we situate them for the sake of simplicity. They were but a thin slice between contiguous impression which formed our lives back then; the memory of a certain image is but the regret of a certain instant; and the houses, the roads, the avenues are fleeting, alas! as the years.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
