Famous quotes containing the words places and/or interest:
“The journalists think that they cannot say too much in favor of such “improvements” in husbandry; it is a safe theme, like piety; but as for the beauty of one of these “model farms,” I would as lief see a patent churn and a man turning it. They are, commonly, places merely where somebody is making money, it may be counterfeiting.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“One must either take an interest in the human situation or else parade before the void.”
—Jean Rostand (1894–1977)
