Poor Condition

Famous quotes containing the words poor and/or condition:

    She was poor, but she was honest,

    First he loved her, then he left her,
    And she lost her honest name.

    The city is a fact in nature, like a cave, a run of mackerel or an ant-heap. But it is also a conscious work of art, and it holds within its communal framework many simpler and more personal forms of art. Mind takes form in the city; and in turn, urban forms condition mind.
    Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
