Famous quotes containing the words city, town and/or names:
“When the city gate catches fire, its the fish in the moat who suffer.”
—Chinese proverb.
“No annual training or muster of soldiery, no celebration with its scarfs and banners, could import into the town a hundredth part of the annual splendor of our October. We have only to set the trees, or let them stand, and Nature will find the colored drapery,flags of all her nations, some of whose private signals hardly the botanist can read,while we walk under the triumphal arches of the elms.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“No, no! I dont, I dont want to know your name. You dont have a name, and I dont have a name, either. No names here. Not one name.”
—Bernardo Bertolucci (b. 1940)
