Famous quotes containing the word place:

    “The only asylum
    Was the poorhouse, and those who could afford,
    Rather than send their folks to such a place,
    Kept them at home; and it does seem more human.
    But it’s not so: the place is the asylum.
    There they have every means proper to do with,
    And you aren’t darkening other people’s lives....”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
