Famous quotes containing the words place and/or received:
“Everything necessarily is or is not, and will be or will not be; but one cannot divide and say that one or the other is necessary. I mean, for example: it is necessary for there to be or not to be a sea-battle tomorrow; but it is not necessary for a sea-battle to take place tomorrow, or for one not to take place—though it is necessary for one to take place or not to take place.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
“To speak critically, I never received more than one or two letters in my life—I wrote this some years ago—that were worth the postage.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
