Famous quotes containing the words provincial and/or leagues:

    “In sci-fi convention, life-forms that hadn’t developed space travel were mere prehistory—horse-shoe crabs of the cosmic scene—and something of the humiliation of being stuck on a provincial planet in a galactic backwater has stayed with me ever since.”
    —Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)

    “Only be admonished by what you already see, not to strike leagues of friendship with cheap persons, where no friendship can be. Our impatience betrays us into rash and foolish alliances which no God attends.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
