City/origins

Famous quotes containing the words city and/or origins:

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

Where the hinges let it move, were living things,
Barnacles, mussels, water weeds—and one
Blue bit of polished glass, glued there by time:
The origins of art.”
