Shaker Village

Famous quotes containing the words shaker and/or village:

    Of the Shaker society, it was formerly a sort of proverb in the country, that they always sent the devil to market.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    When a village ceases to be a community, it becomes oppressive in its narrow conformity. So one becomes an individual and migrates to the city. There, finding others likeminded, one re- establishes a village community. Nowadays only New Yorkers are yokels.
    Paul Goodman (1911–1972)
