Famous quotes containing the words robinson and/or places:

    When infant Science makes a pleasant face
    And waves again that hollow toy, the Race;
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    All men are lonely. But sometimes it seems to me that we Americans are the loneliest of all. Our hunger for foreign places and new ways has been with us almost like a national disease. Our literature is stamped with a quality of longing and unrest, and our writers have been great wanderers.
    Carson McCullers (1917–1967)
