Letchworth Garden City

Famous quotes containing the words garden and/or city:

    A garden is like those pernicious machineries we read of, every month, in the newspapers, which catch a man’s coat-skirt or his hand, and draw in his arm, his leg, and his whole body to irresistible destruction.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    A million people—manners free and superb—open
    voices—hospitality—the most courageous and friendly young men,
    City of hurried and sparkling waters! city of spires and masts!
    City nested in bays! my city!
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
