Provincial Cities

Famous quotes containing the words provincial and/or cities:

“The dead level of provincial existence.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

“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)
