Upper Iowa

Famous quotes containing the words upper and/or iowa:

How beautiful they stand,
To prove the upper classes
Have still the upper hand.”

“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)
