Town Meeting Form

Famous quotes containing the words town, meeting and/or form:

    Mr. Mum’s Rudesheimer
    And the church of St. Geryon
    Are the two things alone
    That deserve to be known
    In the body-and-soul-stinking town of Cologne.
    Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

    I think it is better to show love by meeting needs than to keep telling my son that I love him. Right now he is learning to tie his shoes. He is old enough, so even though it’s hard for him, sometimes I insist. But once in a while when I see he’s tired I still do it for him, and I have noticed that while I am tying his shoe, he says, “I love you, Mommy.” When he says, “I love you,” I know that he knows that he is loved.
    Anonymous Parent (20th century)

    Although Samuel had a depraved imagination—perhaps even because of this—love, for him, was less a matter of the senses than of the intellect. It was, above all, admiration and appetite for beauty; he considered reproduction a flaw of love, and pregnancy a form of insanity. He wrote on one occasion: “Angels are hermaphrodite and sterile.”
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
