Famous quotes containing the words town and/or walls:
“Three miles long and two streets wide, the town curls around the bay ... a gaudy run with Mediterranean splashes of color, crowded steep-pitched roofs, fishing piers and fishing boats whose stench of mackerel and gasoline is as aphrodisiac to the sensuous nose as the clean bar-whisky smell of a nightclub where call girls congregate.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“Deep are the foundations of sincerity. Even stone walls have their foundation below the frost.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
