Holy Cities

Famous quotes containing the words holy and/or cities:

“Even the newts are white,

Those holy Joes.
And the fish, the fish—
Christ! they are panes of ice.”

“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)
