Famous quotes containing the words city and/or east:
“A wholly materialistic city is nothing but a dream incarnate. Venice is the world’s unconscious, a miser’s 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 (1912–1989)
“I’m glad we’ve been bombed. It makes me feel I can look the East End in the face.”
