Famous quotes containing the words cities and/or towns:
“In bombers named for girls, we burned
The cities we had learned about in school—
Till our lives wore out; our bodies lay among
The people we had killed and never seen.”

An oath of towns that set the wild at naught,
They bring the telephone and telegraph.”
