City Kingdoms

Famous quotes containing the words city and/or kingdoms:

    Commuters give the city its tidal restlessness; natives give it solidity and continuity; but the settlers give it passion.

    How will it be with kingdoms and with kings—
    With those who shaped him to the thing he is—
    When this dumb Terror shall rise to judge the world,
    After the silence of the centuries?
