Famous quotes containing the words memorials, park and/or corner:

    “My titillations have no foot-notes

    Of idiosyncratic music.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Linnæus, setting out for Lapland, surveys his “comb” and “spare shirt,” “leathern breeches” and “gauze cap to keep off gnats,” with as much complacency as Bonaparte a park of artillery for the Russian campaign. The quiet bravery of the man is admirable.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Many said selfishness was the flaw of our modern age; but then self-conceit emerged from a corner of the deepest hell to join selfishness.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
