Famous quotes containing the words twin, towns, sister and/or cities:
“If they be two, they are two so
As stiff twin compasses are two;
Thy soul, the fixed foot, makes no show
To move, but doth if th’ other do.”
—John Donne (1572–1631)
“Kindness is a virtue neither modern nor urban. One almost unlearns it in a city. Towns have their own beatitude; they are not unfriendly; they offer a vast and solacing anonymity or an equally vast and solacing gregariousness. But one needs a neighbor on whom to practice compassion.”
—Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
“Evelyn Mulwray: She’s my daughter.
J.J. Gittes: I said I want the truth!
Evelyn Mulwray: She’s my sister. She’s my daughter. My sister, my daughter.
J.J. Gittes: I said I want the truth!
Evelyn Mulwray: She’s my sister and my daughter!”
—Robert Towne (b. 1936)
“Such poverty as we have today in all our great cities degrades the poor, and infects with its degradation the whole neighborhood in which they live. And whatever can degrade a neighborhood can degrade a country and a continent and finally the whole civilized world, which is only a large neighborhood.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
