Famous quotes containing the words city and/or centre:

    “I am not aware that any man has ever built on the spot which I occupy. Deliver me from a city built on the site of a more ancient city, whose materials are ruins, whose gardens cemeteries. The soil is blanched and accursed there, and before that becomes necessary the earth itself will be destroyed.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The great God absolute! The centre and circumference of all democracy! His omnipresence, our divine equality!”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)
