Famous quotes containing the words british and/or territories:

    In New York—whose subway trains in particular have been “tattooed” with a brio and an energy to put our own rude practitioners to shame—not an inch of free space is spared except that of advertisements....

    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
