Famous quotes containing the words changing, city and/or status:
“A culture may be conceived as a network of beliefs and purposes in which any string in the net pulls and is pulled by the others, thus perpetually changing the configuration of the whole. If the cultural element called morals takes on a new shape, we must ask what other strings have pulled it out of line. It cannot be one solitary string, nor even the strings nearby, for the network is three-dimensional at least.”
—Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)
“When the city gate catches fire, it’s the fish in the moat who suffer.”
—Chinese proverb.
“As a work of art it has the same status as a long conversation between two not very bright drunks.”
—Clive James (b. 1939)
