City Walls

Famous quotes containing the words city and/or walls:

“The city is loveliest when the sweet death racket begins. Her own life lived in defiance of nature, her electricity, her frigidaires, her soundproof walls, the glint of lacquered nails, the plumes that wave across the corrugated sky. Here in the coffin depths grow the everlasting flowers sent by telegraph.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)

“Life is for each man a solitary cell whose walls are mirrors.”
—Eugene O’Neill (1888–1953)
