Famous quotes containing the word suburbs:
“In an expanding universe, time is on the side of the outcast. Those who once inhabited the suburbs of human contempt find that without changing their address they eventually live in the metropolis.”
—Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)
“Slums may well be breeding-grounds of crime, but middle-class suburbs are incubators of apathy and delirium.”
—Cyril Connolly (19031974)
“Everywhereall over Africa and South America ... you see these suburbs springing up. They represent the optimum of what people want. Theres a certain sort of logic leading towards these immaculate suburbs. And theyre terrifying, because they are the death of the soul.... This is the prison this planet is being turned into.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
