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 mans down-lying,
This his slow but sure reclining,
Star by star his world resigning.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“How far men go for the material of their houses! The inhabitants of the most civilized cities, in all ages, send into far, primitive forests, beyond the bounds of their civilization, where the moose and bear and savage dwell, for their pine boards for ordinary use. And, on the other hand, the savage soon receives from cities iron arrow-points, hatchets, and guns, to point his savageness with.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
