Famous quotes containing the words city and/or gallery:
“The faults of the burglar are the qualities of the financier: the manners and habits of a duke would cost a city clerk his situation.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“It doesn’t matter that your painting is small. Kopecks are also small, but when a lot are put together they make a ruble. Each painting displayed in a gallery and each good book that makes it into a library, no matter how small they may be, serves a great cause: accretion of the national wealth.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
