Famous quotes containing the words village and/or landmarks:

    The village appeared to me a great news room.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The lives of happy people are dense with their own doings—crowded, active, thick.... But the sorrowing are nomads, on a plain with few landmarks and no boundaries; sorrow’s horizons are vague and its demands are few.
    Larry McMurtry (b. 1936)
