York Giants

Famous quotes containing the words york and/or giants:

“New York is the meeting place of the peoples, the only city where you can hardly find a typical American.”

“But can see better there, and laughing there
Pity the giants wallowing on the plain.
...
Pygmies expand in cold impossible air,
Cry fie on the giantshine, poor glory which
Pounds breast-bone punily, screeches, and has
Reached no Alps: or, knows no Alps to reach.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
