Skyscrapers

Famous quotes containing the word skyscrapers:

    Chicago—is—oh well a façade of skyscrapers facing a lake, and behind the façade every type of dubiousness.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    The City of New York is like an enormous citadel, a modern Carcassonne. Walking between the magnificent skyscrapers one feels the presence on the fringe of a howling, raging mob, a mob with empty bellies, a mob unshaven and in rags.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)
