Famous quotes containing the words village, china and/or shop:

    There were those young men,
    those village lands
    and that youthfulness of mine.
    People tell it
    like a tale
    that I must listen to.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    In a country where misery and want were the foundation of the social structure, famine was periodic, death from starvation common, disease pervasive, thievery normal, and graft and corruption taken for granted, the elimination of these conditions in Communist China is so striking that negative aspects of the new rule fade in relative importance.
    Barbara Tuchman (1912–1989)

    Griff: If I let you set up shop in this neighborhood, the people would chop me like a ripe banana.
    Kelly: Then why’d you buy my merchandise?
    Griff: I ... I was thirsty!
    Samuel Fuller (b. 1911)
