Famous quotes containing the words largest and/or cities:

    “The eager fate which carried thee
    Took the largest part of me:
    For this losing is true dying;
    This is lordly man’s down-lying,
    This his slow but sure reclining,
    Star by star his world resigning.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Satire is born of the cities it denounces.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
