Famous quotes containing the words largest and/or cities:

    “The largest pond is as sensitive to atmospheric changes as the globule of mercury in its tube.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “I keep having the same experience and keep resisting it every time. I do not want to believe it although it is palpable: the great majority of people lacks an intellectual conscience. Indeed, it has often seemed to me as if anyone calling for an intellectual conscience were as lonely in the most densely populated cities as if he were in a desert.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
