Famous quotes containing the word places:
“The sense of place is unavoidable in western Dakota, and maybe that’s our gift to the world. ...In these places you wait, and the places mold you.”
—Kathleen Norris (b. 1947)
“Why needs a man be rich? Why must he have horses, fine garments, handsome apartments, access to public houses, and places of amusement? Only for want of thought.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The greatest, or rather the most prominent, part of this city was constructed with the design to offer the deadest resistance to leaden and iron missiles that might be cast against it. But it is a remarkable meteorological and psychological fact, that it is rarely known to rain lead with much violence, except on places so constructed.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
