Famous quotes containing the words principal and/or cities:

    “The principal rule of art is to please and to move. All the other rules were created to achieve this first one.”
    —Jean Racine (1639–1699)

    “The only phenomenon with which writing has always been concomitant is the creation of cities and empires, that is the integration of large numbers of individuals into a political system, and their grading into castes or classes.... It seems to have favored the exploitation of human beings rather than their enlightenment.”
    —Claude Lévi-Strauss (b. 1908)
