1. Lyndon B. Johnson:

   The Great Society is a place where every child can find knowledge to enrich his mind and to enlarge his talents. It is a place where the city of man serves not only the needs of the body and the demands of commerce but the desire for beauty and the hunger for community. It is a place where men are more concerned with the quality of their goals than the quantity of their goods.

2. Patrick Gonzales-Rogers:

   Bears Ears represents a place of refuge, a place of commerce, a place of practicing their culture, and most importantly, a place of spiritual and theological practice.

3. Shana Alexander:

   A plane is a bad place for an all-out sleep, but a good place to begin rest and recovery from the trip to the faraway places you've been, a decompression chamber between Here and There. Though a plane is not the ideal place really to think, to reassess or reevaluate things, it is a great place to have the illusion of doing so, and often the illusion will suffice.

4. Judge Statom:

   It used to be a very nice place to live, in fact, my grandmother lived there and I spent many a night and it was a nice place where you could walk around. People like you have made it a violent, unsafe place to live, and hopefully we can make it the place that it used to be back when it was originally built for people who didn’t have anywhere else to live, to make it a safe place to live.

Who's going to help me ?' hurricane Katrina disaster victims go to a place like Iowa, and Hurricane Katrina disaster victims go, Hurricane Katrina disaster victims go see, knock on the door at, say, I'll make up a name, John's place, and say,' John, you got water in your basement, Hurricane Katrina disaster victims can write you a check, Hurricane Katrina disaster victims can help you.' And John will say,' Well, wait a minute, let me get my boots. It's Joe that needs help. Let's go down to his place and help him,'.
