Famous quotes containing the words twin and/or towns:

    That Dali is really Norman Rockwell’s twin brother kidnapped by gypsies in babyhood.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    The incessant repetition of the same hand-work dwarfs the man, robs him of his strength, wit, and versatility, to make a pin- polisher, and buckle-maker, or any other specialty; and presently, in a change of industry, whole towns are sacrificed like ant-hills, when cotton takes the place of linen, or railways of turnpikes, or when commons are inclosed by landlords.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
