Famous quotes containing the words places and/or interest:

    The places which I have described may seem strange and remote to my townsmen ... our account may have made no impression on your minds. But what is our account? In it there is no roar, no beach-birds, no tow-cloth.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Whoever lives for the sake of combating an enemy has an interest in the enemy’s staying alive.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
