Lac Des Mille

Famous quotes containing the words des and/or mille:

    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)

    What I have crossed out I didn’t like. What I haven’t crossed out I’m dissatisfied with.
    —Cecil B. De Mille (1881–1959)
