Urban Legends

Famous quotes containing the words urban and/or legends:

“The city is a fact in nature, like a cave, a run of mackerel or an ant-heap. But it is also a conscious work of art, and it holds within its communal framework many simpler and more personal forms of art. Mind takes form in the city; and in turn, urban forms condition mind.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)

“Sometimes legends make reality, and become more useful than the facts.”
—Salman Rushdie (b. 1947)
