Famous quotes containing the words hub and/or van:
“When I was growing up I used to think that the best thing about coming from Des Moines was that it meant you didn’t come from anywhere else in Iowa.

—Bill Bryson (b. 1951)
“I know that Europe’s wonderful, yet something seems to lack;
The Past is too much with her, and the people looking back.”
