Famous quotes containing the words twin, towns, sister and/or cities:

    “We live under continual threat of two equally fearful, but seemingly opposed, destinies: unremitting banality and inconceivable terror. It is fantasy, served out in large rations by the popular arts, which allows most people to cope with these twin specters.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    “New is a word for fools in towns who think
    Style upon style in dress and thought at last
    Must get somewhere.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “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 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.”
    —Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)
