Famous quotes containing the words places and/or interest:

    “The places we have known do not only belong to the world of space in which we situate them for the sake of simplicity. They were but a thin slice between contiguous impression which formed our lives back then; the memory of a certain image is but the regret of a certain instant; and the houses, the roads, the avenues are fleeting, alas! as the years.”
    —Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    “A mob cannot be a permanency: everybody’s interest requires that it should not exist, and only justice satisfies all.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
