Famous quotes containing the words provincial and/or key:

    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)

    Every revolution was first a thought in one man’s mind, and when the same thought occurs in another man, it is the key to that era.
