Famous quotes containing the words principal and/or cities:

    “The principal rule of art is to please and to move. All the other rules were created to achieve this first one.”
    —Jean Racine (1639–1699)

    “How far men go for the material of their houses! The inhabitants of the most civilized cities, in all ages, send into far, primitive forests, beyond the bounds of their civilization, where the moose and bear and savage dwell, for their pine boards for ordinary use. And, on the other hand, the savage soon receives from cities iron arrow-points, hatchets, and guns, to point his savageness with.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
