Famous quotes containing the words silent and/or city:
“Even the ignorant may appear very worthy,
If they keep silent before the learned.”
—Tiruvalluvar (c. 5th century A.D.)
“San Francisco is where gay fantasies come true, and the problem the city presents is whether, after all, we wanted these particular dreams to be fulfilled—or would we have preferred others? Did we know what price these dreams would exact? Did we anticipate the ways in which, vivid and continuous, they would unsuit us for the business of daily life? Or should our notion of daily life itself be transformed?”
—Edmund White (b. 1940)
