Famous quotes containing the words twinned and/or towns:
“We were as twinned lambs that did frisk i the sun
And bleat the one at th other. What we changed
Was innocence for innocence; we knew not
The doctrine of ill-doing, nor dreamed
That any did. Had we pursued that life,
And our weak spirits neer been higher reared
With stronger blood, we should have answered heaven
Boldly Not guilty, the imposition cleared
Hereditary ours.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“Kindness is a virtue neither modern nor urban. One almost unlearns it in a city. Towns have their own beatitude; they are not unfriendly; they offer a vast and solacing anonymity or an equally vast and solacing gregariousness. But one needs a neighbor on whom to practice compassion.”
—Phyllis McGinley (19051978)
