Famous quotes containing the words haven and/or city:
“Finishing schools in the fifties were a good place to store girls for a few years before marrying them off, a satisfactory rest stop between college weekends spent husband hunting. It was a haven for those of us adept at styling each other’s hair, playing canasta, and chain smoking Pall Mall extra-long cigarettes.”
—Barbara Howar (b. 1934)
“Commuters give the city its tidal restlessness; natives give it solidity and continuity; but the settlers give it passion.”
—E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
