Famous quotes containing the words major and/or cities:

    “Inanimate objects are classified scientifically into three major categories—those that don’t work, those that break down and those that get lost.”
    —Russell Baker (b. 1925)

    “Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
    With conquering limbs astride from land to land,
    Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
    A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
    Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
    Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
    Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
    The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.”
    —Emma Lazarus (1849–1887)
