Famous quotes containing the words captains of and/or city:
“Captains of industry, your aimless power
Awakens harsh velleities of time....”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“The surprise of animals... in and out, cats and dogs and a milk goat and chickens and guinea hens, all taken for granted, as if man was intended to live on terms of friendly intercourse with the rest of creation instead of huddling in isolation on the fourteenth floor of an apartment house in a city where animals occurred behind bars in the zoo.”
—Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)
