Urban Poor

Famous quotes containing the words urban and/or poor:

“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)

“And these poor nerves so wired to the skull
Ache on the lovelorn paper....”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
