Level/places

Famous quotes containing the words level and/or places:

“As the tragic writer rids us of what is petty and ignoble in our nature, so also the humorist rids us of what is cautious, calculating, and priggish—about half of our social conscience, indeed. Both of them permit us, in blessed moments of revelation, to soar above the common level of our lives.”
—Robertson Davies (b. 1913)

“All places are alike,
And every earth is fit for burial.”
—Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)
