Famous quotes containing the words sister and/or cities:

    “My sister and I, you will recollect, were twins, and you know how subtle are the links which bind two souls which are so closely allied.”
    —Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)

    “In great cities men are brought together by the desire of gain. They are not in a state of co-operation, but of isolation, as to the making of fortunes; and for all the rest they are careless of neighbours. Christianity teaches us to love our neighbour as ourself; modern society acknowledges no neighbour.”
    —Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
