Famous quotes containing the word towns:

    “We do not concern ourselves about being esteemed in towns through which we pass. But if we are to remain a while there, we are so concerned. How long is necessary? A time commensurate with our vain and paltry life.”
    —Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    “The whole tree itself is but one leaf, and rivers are still vaster leaves whose pulp is intervening earth, and towns and cities are the ova of insects in their axils.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
