Famous quotes containing the words famous and/or residents:
“Let the famous not denounce fame. Far from being empty and meaningless, it fills those it touches with divine power.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“In most nineteenth-century cities, both large and small, more than 50 percent—and often up to 75 percent—of the residents in any given year were no longer there ten years later. People born in the twentieth century are much more likely to live near their birthplace than were people born in the nineteenth century.”
—Stephanie Coontz (20th century)
