Famous quotes containing the words city and/or origins:
“A wholly materialistic city is nothing but a dream incarnate. Venice is the worlds unconscious, a misers glittering hoard, guarded by a Beast whose eyes are made of white agate, and by a saint who is really a prince who has just slain a dragon.”
—Mary McCarthy (19121989)
“The settlement of America had its origins in the unsettlement of Europe. America came into existence when the European was already so distant from the ancient ideas and ways of his birthplace that the whole span of the Atlantic did not widen the gulf.”
—Lewis Mumford (18951990)
