Famous quotes containing the word place:

    “Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other’s eyes for an instant? We should live in all the ages of the world in an hour; ay, in all the worlds of the ages. History, Poetry, Mythology!—I know of no reading of another’s experience so startling and informing as this would be.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Before the last went, heavy with dew,
    Back to the place from which she came
    Where the bird was before it flew,
    Where the flower was before it grew,
    Where bird and flower were one and the same.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “In deep sadness there is no place for sentimentality.”
    —William Burroughs (b. 1914)
