Englewood Cliffs Residents

Famous quotes containing the words cliffs and/or residents:

    So there stood Matthew Arnold and this girl
    With the cliffs of England crumbling away behind them,
    And he said to her, “Try to be true to me,
    And I’ll do the same for you, for things are bad
    All over, etc., etc.”
    Anthony Hecht (b. 1923)

    In most nineteenth-century cities, both large and small, more than 50 percent—and often up to 75 percent—of the residents in any given year were no longer there ten years later. People born in the twentieth century are much more likely to live near their birthplace than were people born in the nineteenth century.
    Stephanie Coontz (20th century)
