City Parliament

Famous quotes containing the words city and/or parliament:

“The surprise of animals... in and out, cats and dogs and a milk goat and chickens and guinea hens, all taken for granted, as if man was intended to live on terms of friendly intercourse with the rest of creation instead of huddling in isolation on the fourteenth floor of an apartment house in a city where animals occurred behind bars in the zoo.”
—Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)

“What is the historical function of Parliament in this country? It is to prevent the Government from governing.”
