Famous quotes containing the words sister and/or cities:

    “For she has made me the laily worm
    That lies at the fit o’ the tree,
    An’ my sister Masery she’s made
    The machrel of the sea.”
    —Unknown. The Laily Worm and the Machrel of the Sea (l. 5–8)

    “Again and again I am brought up against it, and again and again I resist it: I don’t want to believe it, even though it is almost palpable: the vast majority lack an intellectual conscience; indeed, it often seems to me that to demand such a thing is to be in the most populous cities as solitary as in the desert.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
