Famous quotes containing the words pope and/or urban:

    “With varying vanities, from ev’ry part,
    They shift the moving toyshop of their heart;”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    “The city is a fact in nature, like a cave, a run of mackerel or an ant-heap. But it is also a conscious work of art, and it holds within its communal framework many simpler and more personal forms of art. Mind takes form in the city; and in turn, urban forms condition mind.”
    —Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
