Famous quotes containing the words twin, towns, sister and/or cities:

    “We live under continual threat of two equally fearful, but seemingly opposed, destinies: unremitting banality and inconceivable terror. It is fantasy, served out in large rations by the popular arts, which allows most people to cope with these twin specters.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    “With a laugh,
    An oath of towns that set the wild at naught,
    They bring the telephone and telegraph.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Before any woman is a wife, a sister or a mother she is a human being. We ask nothing as women but everything as human beings.”
    —Ida C. Hultin, U.S. minister and suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 17, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)

    “What care though rival cities soar
    Along the stormy coast,
    Penn’s town, New York, Baltimore,
    If Boston knew the most!”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
