Sherwood

Famous quotes containing the word sherwood:

    The main trouble [with this country] is there are too many people who don’t know where they’re going and they want to get there too fast.
    —Robert E. Sherwood (1896–1955)

    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)

    ... 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)
