Famous quotes containing the words places and/or interest:

    “A part, a large part, of travelling is an engagement of the ego v. the world.... The world is hydra headed, as old as the rocks and as changing as the sea, enmeshed inextricably in its ways. The ego wants to arrive at places safely and on time.”
    —Sybille Bedford (b. 1911)

    “A mob cannot be a permanency: everybody’s interest requires that it should not exist, and only justice satisfies all.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
