Famous quotes containing the words neighborhood and/or councils:
“Almost everybody in the neighborhood had “troubles,” frankly localized and specified; but only the chosen had “complications.” To have them was in itself a distinction, though it was also, in most cases, a death warrant. People struggled on for years with “troubles,” but they almost always succumbed to “complications.””
—Edith Wharton (1862–1937)
“In bridge clubs and in councils of state, the passions are the same.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
