Crystal City Internment

Famous quotes containing the words crystal and/or city:

“A crystal of breath,
your irreversible
witness.”
—Paul Celan [Paul Antschel] (1920–1970)

“The city is a fact in nature, like a cave, a run of mackerel or an ant-heap. But it is also a conscious work of art, and it holds within its communal framework many simpler and more personal forms of art. Mind takes form in the city; and in turn, urban forms condition mind.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
