Average Place

Famous quotes containing the words average and/or place:

    In the middle classes the gifted son of a family is always the poorest—usually a writer or artist with no sense for speculation—and in a family of peasants, where the average comfort is just over penury, the gifted son sinks also, and is soon a tramp on the roadside.
    —J.M. (John Millington)

    One of the signs of passing youth is the birth of a sense of fellowship with other human beings as we take our place among them.
