Independent Cities

Famous quotes containing the words independent and/or cities:

“The class of citizens who provide at once their own food and their own raiment, may be viewed as the most truly independent and happy.”

“I keep having the same experience and keep resisting it every time. I do not want to believe it although it is palpable: the great majority of people lacks an intellectual conscience. Indeed, it has often seemed to me as if anyone calling for an intellectual conscience were as lonely in the most densely populated cities as if he were in a desert.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
