Desert Cities

Famous quotes containing the words desert and/or cities:

    Only the desert has a fascination—to ride alone—in the sun in the forever unpossessed country—away from man. That is a great temptation.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Again and again I am brought up against it, and again and again I resist it: I don’t want to believe it, even though it is almost palpable: the vast majority lack an intellectual conscience; indeed, it often seems to me that to demand such a thing is to be in the most populous cities as solitary as in the desert.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
