Famous quotes containing the words wells and/or geography:

“The books we think we ought to read are poky, dull, and dry;
The books that we would like to read we are ashamed to buy;
The books that people talk about we never can recall;
And the books that people give us, oh, they’re the worst of all.”
—Carolyn Wells (1870–1942)

“Yet America is a poem in our eyes; its ample geography dazzles the imagination, and it will not wait long for metres.”
