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)

“A state is not a state if it belongs to one man.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
