City of Swan - Suburbs

Famous quotes containing the word suburbs:

“With four walk-in closets to walk in,
Three bushes, two shrubs, and one tree,
The suburbs are good for the children,
But no place for grown-ups to be.”
—Judith Viorst (b. 1935)

“Prejudices are useless. Call Los Angeles any dirty name you like—Six Suburbs in Search of a City, Paradise with a Lobotomy, anything—but the fact remains that you are already living in it before you get there.”
—Clive James (b. 1939)

“Slums may well be breeding-grounds of crime, but middle-class suburbs are incubators of apathy and delirium.”
