Famous quotes containing the word place:

    “Because of thee, the land of dreams
    Becomes a gathering place of fears:

    One vehemence of useless tears.”
    —Lionel Pigot Johnson (1867–1902)

    “The predicate of truth-value of a proposition, therefore, is a mere fictive quality; its place is in an ideal world of science only, whereas actual science cannot make use of it. Actual science instead employs throughout the predicate of weight.”
    —Hans Reichenbach (1891–1953)

    “We Americans have always considered Hollywood, at best, a sinkhole of depraved venality. And, of course, it is. It is not a Protective Monastery of Aesthetic Truth. It is a place where everything is incredibly expensive.”
    —David Mamet (b. 1947)
