Famous quotes containing the words places and/or named:

    Coke and Blackstone hardly shed so much light into obscure spiritual places as the Hebrew prophets.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    We call it a Society; and go about professing openly the totalest separation, isolation. Our life is not a mutual helpfulness; but rather, cloaked under due laws-of-war, named “fair competition” and so forth, it is a mutual hostility.
    Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
