Provincial Banks

Famous quotes containing the words provincial and/or banks:

    In sci-fi convention, life-forms that hadn’t developed space travel were mere prehistory—horse-shoe crabs of the cosmic scene—and something of the humiliation of being stuck on a provincial planet in a galactic backwater has stayed with me ever since.
    Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)

    For the wrong that needs resistance,
    For the future in the distance,
    And the good that I can do.
    —George Linnaeus Banks (1821–1881)
