Famous quotes containing the words place and/or names:

    “No place of grace for those who avoid the face
    No time to rejoice for those who walk among noise and deny the voice”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “I do not see why, since America and her autumn woods have been discovered, our leaves should not compete with the precious stones in giving names to colors; and, indeed, I believe that in course of time the names of some of our trees and shrubs, as well as flowers, will get into our popular chromatic nomenclature.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
