Famous quotes containing the words cardboard and/or city:
“And a sigh heaves from all the small things on earth,
The books, the papers, the old garters and union-suit buttons
Kept in a white cardboard box somewhere ...
The summer demands and takes away too much,
But night, the reserved, the reticent, gives more than it takes.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“When the city gate catches fire, it’s the fish in the moat who suffer.”
—Chinese proverb.
