Village Chiefs

Famous quotes containing the words village and/or chiefs:

    “When a village ceases to be a community, it becomes oppressive in its narrow conformity. So one becomes an individual and migrates to the city. There, finding others likeminded, one re- establishes a village community. Nowadays only New Yorkers are yokels.”
    —Paul Goodman (1911–1972)

    “Fashion understands itself; good-breeding and personal superiority of whatever country readily fraternize with those of every other. The chiefs of savage tribes have distinguished themselves in London and Paris, by the purity of their tournure.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
