Famous quotes containing the words place and/or names:

    “I have wrestled with death. It is the most unexciting contest you can imagine. It takes place in an impalpable greyness, with nothing underfoot, with nothing around, without spectators, without clamor, without glory, without the great desire of victory, without the great desire of defeat, in a sickly atmosphere of tepid skepticism, without much belief in your own right, and still less in that of your adversary.”
    —Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)

    “Ideas about life organize perception; names of emotions organize sensations; rules of syntax organize thought. But pain comes on its own.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
