    Cities give us collision. ‘Tis said, London and New York take the nonsense out of a man.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Today’s city is the most vulnerable social structure ever conceived by man.

    I guess a career in the police didn’t really prepare you for this, did it?
    Bob Hunt (b. 1951)

    I believe in women; and in their right to their own best possibilities in every department of life. I believe that the methods of dress practiced among women are a marked hindrance to the realization of these possibilities, and should be scorned or persuaded out of society.
    Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)

    If this bureau had a prayer for use around horse parks, it would go something like this: Lead us not among bleeding-hearts to whom horses are cute or sweet or adorable, and deliver us from horse-lovers. Amen.... With that established, let’s talk about the death of Seabiscuit the other night. It isn’t mawkish to say, there was a racehorse, a horse that gave race fans as much pleasure as any that ever lived and one that will be remembered as long and as warmly.
    Walter Wellesley (Red)
