Famous quotes containing the words sister and/or cities:
“One does not arise from such a book as Sister Carrie with a smirk of satisfaction; one leaves it infinitely touched.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“In great cities men are brought together by the desire of gain. They are not in a state of co-operation, but of isolation, as to the making of fortunes; and for all the rest they are careless of neighbours. Christianity teaches us to love our neighbour as ourself; modern society acknowledges no neighbour.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
