Cloud City

Famous quotes containing the words cloud and/or city:

    To go where? In that Dark—that—in that God? a
    radiance? A Lord in the Void? Like an eye in the black cloud in a
    dream? Adonoi at last, with you?
    Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)

    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)
