Famous quotes containing the words place and/or names:

    “Probably the only place where a man can feel really secure is in a maximum security prison, except for the imminent threat of release.”
    —Germaine Greer (b. 1939)

    “Consider the islands bearing the names of all the saints, bristling with forts like chestnut-burs, or Echinidæ, yet the police will not let a couple of Irishmen have a private sparring- match on one of them, as it is a government monopoly; all the great seaports are in a boxing attitude, and you must sail prudently between two tiers of stony knuckles before you come to feel the warmth of their breasts.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
