Famous quotes containing the words hiding and/or place:
“She had never known before how much the country meant to her. The chirping of the insects in the long grass had been like the sweetest music. She had felt as if her heart were hiding down there, somewhere, with the quail and the plover and all the little wild things that crooned or buzzed in the sun. Under the long shaggy ridges, she felt the future stirring.”
—Willa Cather (18731947)
“Why was the human race created? Or at least why wasnt something creditable created in place of it? God had His opportunity. He could have made a reputation. But no, He must commit this grotesque follya lark which must have cost Him a regret or two when He came to think it over and observe effects.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (18351910)
