Famous quotes containing the words ancient, cities and/or towns:

    On every hand we observe a truly wise practice, in education, in morals, and in the arts of life, the embodied wisdom of many an ancient philosopher.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The cities of the world are concentric, isomorphic, synchronic. Only one exists and you are always in the same one. It’s the effect of their permanent revolution, their intense circulation, their instantaneous magnetism.
    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

    New is a word for fools in towns who think
    Style upon style in dress and thought at last
    Must get somewhere.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
