Iowa State

Famous quotes containing the words iowa and/or state:

    When I was growing up I used to think that the best thing about coming from Des Moines was that it meant you didn’t come from anywhere else in Iowa. By Iowa standards, Des Moines is a mecca of cosmopolitanism, a dynamic hub of wealth and education, where people wear three-piece suits and dark socks, often simultaneously.
    Bill Bryson (b. 1951)

    The only way into truth is through one’s own annihilation; through dwelling a long time in a state of extreme and total humiliation.
    Simone Weil (1909–1943)
