Famous quotes containing the words story and/or city:
“A good story is one that isnt demanding, that proceeds from A to B, and above all doesnt remind us of the bad times, the cardboard patches we used to wear in our shoes, the failed farms, the way people you love just up and die. It tells us instead that hard work and perseverance can overcome all obstacles; it tells lie after lie, and the happy ending is the happiest lie of all.”
—Kathleen Norris (b. 1947)
“London ... remains a mans city where New York is chiefly a womans. London has whole streets that cater to mens wants. It has its great solid phalanx of fortress clubs.”
—Louis Kronenberger (19041980)
