Famous quotes containing the words johnson and/or city:

    BOSWELL “ ... Is not the fear of death natural to man?” JOHNSON. “So much so, Sir, that the whole of life is but keeping away the thought of it.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    I was asking for something specific and perfect for my city,
    Whereupon lo! upsprang the aboriginal name.
    Now I see what there is in a name, a word, liquid, sane, unruly,
    musical, self-sufficient,
    I see that the word of my city is that word from of old,
    Because I see that word nested in nests of water-bays, superb,
    Rich, hemm’d thick all around with sailships and steamships, an
    island sixteen miles long, solid-founded,
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
