Famous quotes containing the words urban, areas and/or inhabitants:
“And New York is the most beautiful city in the world? It is not far from it. No urban night is like the night there.... Squares after squares of flame, set up and cut into the aether. Here is our poetry, for we have pulled down the stars to our will.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“The planet on which we live is poorly organized, many areas are overpopulated, others are reserved for a few, technology’s potential is only in part realized, and most people are starving.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
“The inhabitants of Canada appeared to be suffering between two fires,—the soldiery and the priesthood.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
