Famous quotes containing the word suburbs:
“Slums may well be breeding-grounds of crime, but middle-class suburbs are incubators of apathy and delirium.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
“With four walk-in closets to walk in,
Three bushes, two shrubs, and one tree,
The suburbs are good for the children,
But no place for grown-ups to be.”
—Judith Viorst (b. 1935)
