Famous quotes containing the words main and/or cities:

    “In most books, the I, or first person, is omitted; in this it will be retained; that, in respect to egotism, is the main difference.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “If I be false, or swerve a hair from truth,
    When time is old and hath forgot itself,
    When waterdrops have worn the stones of Troy,
    And blind oblivion swallowed cities up,
    And mighty states characterless are grated
    To dusty nothing, yet let memory
    From false to false among false maids in love
    Upbraid my falsehood.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
