Sun Cities

Famous quotes containing the words sun and/or cities:

    Who can think of the sun costuming clouds
    When all people are shaken
    Or of night endazzled, proud,
    When people awaken
    And cry and cry for help?
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    How far men go for the material of their houses! The inhabitants of the most civilized cities, in all ages, send into far, primitive forests, beyond the bounds of their civilization, where the moose and bear and savage dwell, for their pine boards for ordinary use. And, on the other hand, the savage soon receives from cities iron arrow-points, hatchets, and guns, to point his savageness with.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
