Cloud City

Famous quotes containing the words cloud and/or city:

    “It cannot be denied that for a society which has to create scarcity to save its members from starvation, to whom abundance spells disaster, and to whom unlimited energy means unlimited power for war and destruction, there is an ominous cloud in the distance though at present it be no bigger than a man’s hand.”
    —Arthur Stanley Eddington (1882–1944)

    “The farmhouse lingers, though averse to square
    With the new city street it has to wear
    A number in. But what about the brook
    That held the house as in an elbow-crook?”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
