Famous quotes containing the words sister and/or cities:

    “It is natural not to care about a sister certainly not when she is four years older and grinds her teeth at night.”
    —Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    “In great cities men are brought together by the desire of gain. They are not in a state of co-operation, but of isolation, as to the making of fortunes; and for all the rest they are careless of neighbours. Christianity teaches us to love our neighbour as ourself; modern society acknowledges no neighbour.”
    —Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
