Island Cities

Famous quotes containing the words island and/or cities:

    They all came, some wore sentiments
    Emblazoned on T-shirts, proclaiming the lateness
    Of the hour, and indeed the sun slanted its rays
    Through branches of Norfolk Island pine as though
    Politely clearing its throat....
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    Whilst we want cities as the centres where the best things are found, cities degrade us by magnifying trifles.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
