Famous quotes containing the words shock and/or city:
“Civilized society is one huge bourgeoisie: no nobleman dares now shock his greengrocer.”

“This city is neither a jungle nor the moon.... In long shot: a cosmic smudge, a conglomerate of bleeding energies. Close up, it is a fairly legible printed circuit, a transistorized labyrinth of beastly tracks, a data bank for asthmatic voice-prints.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
