Famous quotes containing the words london and/or york:

    “The Metropolis should have been aborted long before it became New York, London or Tokyo.”
    —John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)

    “The movies were my textbooks for everything else in the world. When it wasn’t, I altered it. If I saw a college, I would see only cheerleaders or blonds. If I saw New York City, I would want to go to the slums I’d seen in the movies, where the tough kids played. If I went to Chicago, I’d want to see the brawling factories and the gangsters.”
    —Jill Robinson (b. 1936)
