Famous quotes containing the words host, city and/or selection:

    “Think of the earth as a living organism that is being attacked by billions of bacteria whose numbers double every forty years. Either the host dies, or the virus dies, or both die.”
    —Gore Vidal (b. 1925)

    “half-way up the hill, I see the Past
    Lying beneath me with its sounds and sights,—
    A city in the twilight dim and vast,
    With smoking roofs, soft bells, and gleaming lights,—
    And hear above me on the autumnal blast
    The cataract of Death far thundering from the heights.”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    “When you consider the radiance, that it does not withhold
    itself but pours its abundance without selection into every
    nook and cranny”
    —Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
