Village Shop

Famous quotes containing the words village and/or shop:

“Our village life would stagnate if it were not for the unexplored forests and meadows which surround it.”

“A generation which has passed through the shop has absorbed standards and ambitions which are not of those of spaciousness, and cannot get away from them. Everything with them is done as though for sale, and they naturally have in view the greatest possible benefit, profit and that end of the stuff that will make the best show.”
