Chong Pang City

Famous quotes containing the words pang and/or city:

    She went her unremembering way,
    She went and left in me
    The pang of all the partings gone,
    And partings yet to be.
    Francis Thompson (1859–1907)

    In place of a world, there is a city, a point, in which the whole life of broad regions is collecting while the rest dries up. In place of a type-true people, born of and grown on the soil, there is a new sort of nomad, cohering unstably in fluid masses, the parasitical city dweller, traditionless, utterly matter-of-fact, religionless, clever, unfruitful, deeply contemptuous of the countryman and especially that highest form of countryman, the country gentleman.
    Oswald Spengler (1880–1936)
