Famous quotes containing the word suburbs:
“Slums may well be breeding-grounds of crime, but middle-class suburbs are incubators of apathy and delirium.”
—Cyril Connolly (19031974)
“Prejudices are useless. Call Los Angeles any dirty name you likeSix Suburbs in Search of a City, Paradise with a Lobotomy, anythingbut the fact remains that you are already living in it before you get there.”
—Clive James (b. 1939)
“The system was breaking down. The one who had wandered alone past so many happenings and events began to feel, backing up along the primal vein that led to his center, the beginning of hiccup that would, if left to gather, explode the center to the extremities of life, the suburbs through which one makes ones way to where the country is.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
