Famous quotes containing the word cities:

    “An architect should live as little in cities as a painter. Send him to our hills, and let him study there what nature understands by a buttress, and what by a dome.”
    —John Ruskin (1819–1900)

    “Whilst we want cities as the centres where the best things are found, cities degrade us by magnifying trifles.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “We are a most solitary people, and we live, repelled by one another, in the gray, outcast cities of Cain.”
    —Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)
