Famous quotes containing the words independent and/or cities:
“When the object is perceived as particular and unique and not merely the member of a family, when it appears independent of any general notion and detached from the sanity of a cause, isolated and inexplicable in the light of ignorance, then and only then may it be a source of enchantment.”

—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
