Famous quotes containing the words city and/or officials:
“This was once
a city among men, a gathering together of spirit.
It was measured by the Lord and found wanting.”

“To name oneself is the first act of both the poet and the revolutionary. When we take away the right to an individual name, we symbolically take away the right to be an individual. Immigration officials did this to refugees; husbands routinely do it to wives.”
