Famous quotes containing the word places:

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

    In many places the road was in that condition called repaired, having just been whittled into the required semicylindrical form with the shovel and scraper, with all the softest inequalities in the middle, like a hog’s back with the bristles up.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    All places were now become irksome to her. She found it impossible to fly from infamy, unless she could at the same time fly from herself.
    Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
