Famous quotes containing the words twin and/or towers:

    “If they be two, they are two so
    As stiff twin compasses are two;
    Thy soul, the fixed foot, makes no show
    To move, but doth if th’ other do.”
    —John Donne (1572–1631)

    “A city on whom plenty held full hand,
    For riches strewed herself even in her streets;
    Whose towers bore heads so high they kissed the clouds,
    And strangers ne’er beheld but wondered at.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
