Famous quotes containing the word cities:
“The city is always recruited from the country. The men in cities who are the centres of energy, the driving-wheels of trade, politics or practical arts, and the women of beauty and genius, are the children or grandchildren of farmers, and are spending the energies which their fathers hardy, silent life accumulated in frosty furrows in poverty, necessity and darkness.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“In bombers named for girls, we burned
The cities we had learned about in school
Till our lives wore out; our bodies lay among
The people we had killed and never seen.”
—Randall Jarrell (19141965)
“What care though rival cities soar
Along the stormy coast,
Penns town, New York, Baltimore,
If Boston knew the most!”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
