Famous quotes containing the words city and/or ember:

    Today’s city is the most vulnerable social structure ever conceived by man.
    Martin Oppenheimer (b. 1930)

    Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
    And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
    Eagerly I wished the morrow;Mvainly I had sought to borrow
    From my books surcease of sorrow—sorrow for the lost Lenore—
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
