Famous quotes containing the words space and/or suits:

    “I take SPACE to be the central fact to man born in America.... I spell it large because it comes large here. Large and without mercy.”
    —Charles Olson (1910–1970)

    “When I was growing up I used to think that the best thing about coming from Des Moines was that it meant you didn’t come from anywhere else in Iowa. By Iowa standards, Des Moines is a mecca of cosmopolitanism, a dynamic hub of wealth and education, where people wear three-piece suits and dark socks, often simultaneously.”
    —Bill Bryson (b. 1951)
