Town Population

Famous quotes containing the words town and/or population:

    Hain’t we got all the fools in town on our side? and ain’t that a big enough majority in any town?
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    America is like one of those old-fashioned six-cylinder truck engines that can be missing two sparkplugs and have a broken flywheel and have a crankshaft that’s 5000 millimeters off fitting properly, and two bad ball-bearings, and still runs. We’re in that kind of situation. We can have substantial parts of the population committing suicide, and still run and look fairly good.
    Thomas McGuane (b. 1939)
