Urban Oasis Effect

Famous quotes containing the words urban, oasis and/or effect:

    I have misplaced the Van Allen belt
    the sewers and the drainage,
    the urban renewal and the suburban centers.
    I have forgotten the names of the literary critics.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Je célébrai mon jour de fête
    Dans une oasis d’Afrique
    Vêtu d’une peau de girafe.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    I guess what I’ve really discovered is the humanizing effect of children in my life—stretching me, humbling me. Maybe my thighs aren’t as thin as they used to be. Maybe my getaways aren’t as glamorous. Still I like the woman that motherhood has helped me to become.
    Susan Lapinski (20th century)
