Vatican City State

Famous quotes containing the words city and/or state:

“This city is neither a jungle nor the moon.... In long shot: a cosmic smudge, a conglomerate of bleeding energies. Close up, it is a fairly legible printed circuit, a transistorized labyrinth of beastly tracks, a data bank for asthmatic voice-prints.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

“The state is not “abolished,” it withers away.”
—Friedrich Engels (1820–1895)
