Famous quotes containing the words city and/or center:
“There is a city myth that country life was isolated and lonely; the truth is that farmers and their families then had a richer social life than they have now. They enjoyed a society organic, satisfying and whole, not mixed and thinned with the life of town, city and nation as it now is.”
—Rose Wilder Lane (1886–1965)
“I am the center of the world, but the control panel seems to be somewhere else.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
