Famous quotes containing the word towns:

    “New is a word for fools in towns who think
    Style upon style in dress and thought at last
    Must get somewhere.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Glorious, stirring sight! The poetry of motion! The real way to travel! The only way to travel! Here today—in next week tomorrow! Villages skipped, towns and cities jumped—always somebody else’s horizon! O bliss! O poop-poop! O my! O my!”
    —Kenneth Grahame (1859–1932)

    “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)
