Famous quotes containing the word cities:

    “... there is no way of measuring the damage to a society when a whole texture of humanity is kept from realizing its own power, when the woman architect who might have reinvented our cities sits barely literate in a semilegal sweatshop on the Texas- Mexican border, when women who should be founding colleges must work their entire lives as domestics ...”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    “This is not only a war of soldiers in uniform. It is a war of the people, of all the people, and it must be fought not only on the battlefield but in the cities and the villages, in the factories and on the farms, in the home and in the heart of every man, woman and child who loves freedom.”
    —Arthur Wimperis (1874–1953)

    “Satire is born of the cities it denounces.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
