Black Canyon City

Famous quotes containing the words black, canyon and/or city:

    Why silk is soft and the stone wounds
    The child shall question all his days,
    Why night-time rain and the breast’s blood
    Both quench his thirst he’ll have a black reply.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    In a world that holds books and babies and canyon trails, why should one condemn oneself to live day-in, day-out with people one does not like, and sell oneself to chaperone and correct them?
    Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)

    The great city is that which has the greatest man or woman:
    If it be a few ragged huts, it is still the greatest city in the whole
    world.
