Famous quotes containing the word place:

    “a place in the world’s core,
    Where passion grows to be a changeless thing,
    Like charmèd apples made of chrysoprase,
    Or chrysoberyl, or beryl, or chrysolite;
    And there, in juggleries of sight and sense,
    Become one movement, energy, delight....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
