Famous quotes containing the words twinned and/or cities:
“We were as twinned lambs that did frisk i’ the sun
And bleat the one at th’ other. What we changed

That any did. Had we pursued that life,
And our weak spirits ne’er been higher reared
With stronger blood, we should have answered heaven
Boldly “Not guilty,” the imposition cleared
Hereditary ours.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
