Average Place

Famous quotes containing the words average and/or place:

“The average Kentuckian may appear a bit confused in his knowledge of history, but he is firmly certain about current politics.

It takes the average Kentuckian only a matter of moments to dispose of the weather and personal helath, but he never tires of a political discussion.”
—For the State of Kentucky, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

“Both place and time were changed, and I dwelt nearer to those parts of the universe and to those eras in history which had most attracted me.”
