Sherwood

Famous quotes containing the word sherwood:

    “Rome, like Washington, is small enough, quiet enough, for strong personal intimacies; Rome, like Washington, has its democratic court and its entourage of diplomatic circle; Rome, like Washington, gives you plenty of time and plenty of sunlight. In New York we have annihilated both.”
    —M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)

    “We all felt that the men about us were making history, and that we were looking at heroes, if we could only find them out.”
    —M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)

    “... anything so delightful as Washington I have never seen elsewhere. There were a mingled simplicity and grandeur, a mingled state and quiet intimacy, a brilliancy of conversation—the proud prominence of intellect over material prosperity which does not exist in any other city of the Union.”
    —M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
