Famous quotes containing the word events:

    Whatever events in progress shall disgust men with cities, and infuse into them the passion for country life, and country pleasures, will render a service to the whole face of this continent, and will further the most poetic of all the occupations of real life, the bringing out by art the native but hidden graces of the landscape.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    At all events there is in Brooklyn
    something that makes me feel at home.
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
