Famous quotes containing the words twin and/or cities:
“That Dali is really Norman Rockwell’s twin brother kidnapped by gypsies in babyhood.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“If I be false, or swerve a hair from truth,
When time is old and hath forgot itself,
When waterdrops have worn the stones of Troy,
And blind oblivion swallowed cities up,
And mighty states characterless are grated
To dusty nothing, yet let memory
From false to false among false maids in love
Upbraid my falsehood.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
