Famous quotes containing the word places:

    “A part, a large part, of travelling is an engagement of the ego v. the world.... The world is hydra headed, as old as the rocks and as changing as the sea, enmeshed inextricably in its ways. The ego wants to arrive at places safely and on time.”
    —Sybille Bedford (b. 1911)

    “All places are alike,
    And every earth is fit for burial.”
    —Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)

    “Literature is where I go to explore the highest and lowest places in human society and in the human spirit, where I hope to find not absolute truth but the truth of the tale, of the imagination and of the heart.”
    —Salman Rushdie (b. 1947)
