Famous quotes containing the words cities and/or river:

    “The only phenomenon with which writing has always been concomitant is the creation of cities and empires, that is the integration of large numbers of individuals into a political system, and their grading into castes or classes.... It seems to have favored the exploitation of human beings rather than their enlightenment.”
    —Claude Lévi-Strauss (b. 1908)

    “the folk-lore
    Of each of the senses; call it, again and again,
    The river that flows nowhere, like a sea.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
