Famous quotes containing the word place:

    “There are hermit souls that live withdrawn
    In the place of their self-content;
    There are souls like stars, that dwell apart,
    In a fellowless firmament;
    There are pioneer souls that blaze their paths
    Where highways never ran—”
    —Sam Walter Foss (1858–1911)
