Human Disturbance

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or disturbance:

    Emma Goldman (1869–1940)

    Not a flock of wild geese cackles over our town, but it to some extent unsettles the value of real estate here, and, if I were a broker, I should probably take that disturbance into account.
