Famous quotes containing the words places and/or interest:

    “People who live in quiet, remote places are apt to give good dinners. They are the oft-recurring excitement of an otherwise unemotional, dull existence. They linger, each of these dinners, in our palimpsest memories, each recorded clearly, so that it does not blot out the others.”
    —M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)

    “But what would interest you about the brook,
    It’s always cold in summer, warm in winter.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
