Garden City Park

Famous quotes containing the words garden, city and/or park:

    Or of the garden where we first mislaid
    Simplicity of wish and will, forgetting
    Out of what cognate splendor all things came
    To take their scattering names;
    Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

    In this absence of nine years I find a great improvement in the city of New York.... Some say it has improved because I have been away. Others, and I agree with them, say it has improved because I have come back.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    Borrow a child and get on welfare.
    Borrow a child and stay in the house all day with the child,
    or go to the public park with the child, and take the child
    to the welfare office and cry and say your man left you and
    be humble and wear your dress and your smile, and don’t talk
    back ...
    Susan Griffin (b. 1943)
