Famous quotes related to the name:
“You remind me of a child-friend who once wrote to tell me about her sister being married. Now I will tell you all about Bessies wedding. Then came a long account of bridesmaids, and breakfast, and everything else, except the name of the bride-groom! That of course didnt matter: the great thing was to get married somehow.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (18321898)
“The name of the town isnt important. Its the one thats just twenty-eight minutes from the big city. Twenty-three if you catch the morning express. Its on a river and its got houses and stores and churches. And a main street. Nothing fancy like Broadway or Market, just plain Broadway. Drug, dry good, shoes. Those horrible little chain stores that breed like rabbits.”
—Joseph L. Mankiewicz (19091993)
