Famous quotes containing the words city, news and/or service:
“In place of a world, there is a city, a point, in which the whole life of broad regions is collecting while the rest dries up. In place of a type-true people, born of and grown on the soil, there is a new sort of nomad, cohering unstably in fluid masses, the parasitical city dweller, traditionless, utterly matter-of-fact, religionless, clever, unfruitful, deeply contemptuous of the countryman and especially that highest form of countryman, the country gentleman.”
—Oswald Spengler (1880–1936)
“And are ye sure the news is true?
And are ye sure he’s weel?”
—William Julius Mickle (1735–1788)
“The gods’ service is tolerable, man’s intolerable.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
