Million Inhabitants

Famous quotes containing the words million and/or inhabitants:

“I get so tired listening to one million dollars here, one million dollars there, it’s so petty.”
—Imelda Marcos (b. 1929)

“Our woods are sylvan, and their inhabitants woodmen and rustics; that is selvaggia, and the inhabitants are salvages. A civilized man, using the word in the ordinary sense, with his ideas and associations, must at length pine there, like a cultivated plant, which clasps its fibres about a crude and undissolved mass of peat.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
