Famous quotes containing the words city, jean and/or airport:
“The two elements the traveler first captures in the big city are extrahuman architecture and furious rhythm. Geometry and anguish.

—Federico García Lorca (1898–1936)
“Break up the printing presses and you break up rebellion.”
—Dudley Nichols, U.S. screenwriter. Jean Renoir. Mayor (Thurston Hall)
“It was like taking a beloved person to the airport and returning to an empty house. I miss the people. I miss the world.”
