Text Quotes
One can say that the city itself is the collective memory of its people, and like memory it is associated with objects and places. The city is the locus of the collective memory  (The City Quotes) It seems to me that whether it is recognized or not, there is a terrific frustration which increases in intensity and harmfulness as time goes on, when people are always daydreaming of the kind of place in which they would like to live, yet never making the place where they do live into anything artistically satisfying to them. Always to dream of a cottage by a brook while never doing anything to the stuffy house in the city is to waste creativity in this very basic area, and to hinder future creativity by not allowing it to grow and develop through use  (The City Quotes) Plan the town, if you like; but in doing it do not forget that you have got to spread the people. Make wider roads, but do not narrow the tenements behind. Dignify the city by all means, but not at the expense of the health of the home and the family life and the comfort of the average workman and citizen  (The City Quotes) The secret to the city is integration. Every area of the city should combine work, leisure and culture. Separate these functions and parts of the city die  (The City Quotes) A gardener is never shut out from his garden, wherever he may be. Its comfort never fails. Though the city may close about him, and the grime and soot descend upon him, he can still wander in his garden, does he but close his eyes  (The City Quotes) The teacher who allows his scholars the freedom of the city of books is at liberty to be their guide, philosopher and friend; and is no longer the mere instrument of forcible intellectual feeding  (The City Quotes) I am the passenger, I stay under glass. I look through my window so bright, I see the stars come out tonight. I see the bright and hollow sky, over the city’s ripped backsides and everything looks good tonight  (The City Quotes) I’m conflicted with theater in the city because you want to reach a diverse audience, and that audience doesn’t typically go to the theater  (The City Quotes) If you’re doing something in the city, then hopefully you’re speaking to somebody who has an open mind who is walking by. And you’re also speaking to a community of other people who do similar types of work. I like to think that the outdoor community is broad and able and open for anybody to see  (The City Quotes) Every man should own a navy cashmere jacket with gold buttons, a grey suit, black shoes shoes for the city, brown shoes for elsewhere. Everything else should be simple and really well made  (The City Quotes) A fountain is the memory of nature, this marvelous sound of a little river in the mountains translated to the city. For me, a fountain doesn’t mean a big jet of water. It means humidity, the origin of life  (The City Quotes) I loved couriers. You had this transfer of physical information happening throughout the city and the world. Someone picking up the package, putting it in a bag, going somewhere, taking it out of the bag, giving it to someone else. I thought that was so cool. I wanted to map it, to see that flow on a big screen  (The City Quotes) Before you went to work this morning in the city, did you spend some time with your family? Did you kiss your wife and tell her that she’s pretty?  (The City Quotes) Especially for me, growing up in such a small town in the middle of nowhere, the desire to be away was incredible. I wanted to see new lands, meet new people from the city, and meet people that were in much less fortunate situations than I was, so that I could be more appreciative of my present. At least I had food on the table  (The City Quotes) If you live in the city, it is necessary to get out of it on weekends. Then you will realize that most of the thoughts and desires you have are not yours. You will see what is you  (The City Quotes) If you thrive on the city energy it is necessary to leave the city frequently and to walk in parks, to get away from people. You are more sensitive than you realize. Find a spot that makes you happy  (The City Quotes) This is the city that taught me how to write all of these cool songs. Yeah, you guys definitely need a royalty  (The City Quotes) Sometimes the truth has difficulty breaching the city walls of our beliefs. A lie, dressed in the correct livery, passes through more easily  (The City Quotes) On the country has gathered the idea of a natural way of life: of peace, innocence, and simple virtue. On the city has gathered the idea of an achieved centre of learning, communication, light. Powerful hostile associations have also developed: on the city as a place of noise, worldliness and ambition; on the country as a place of backwardness, ignorance, limitation. A contrast between country and city, as fundamental ways of life, reaches back into classical times  (The City Quotes) The city’s the best gallery I could imagine. I would never have to make a book and then present it to a gallery and let them decide if my work was nice enough to show it to people. I would control it directly with the public in the streets  (The City Quotes) After long centuries, agrarian civilization is weakening. Is sufficient attention being devoted to the arrangement and improvement of the life of the country people, whose inferior and at times miserable economic situation provokes the flight to the unhappy crowded conditions of the city outskirts, where neither employment nor housing awaits them?  (The City Quotes) I stared out the window the whole way, because it was raining, which is how I like the city best. It looks like it’s been polished up. All the streets shine and lights from everywhere reflect off the black. It’s like the whole place has been dipped in sugar syrup. Like the city is some kind of big candy apple  (The City Quotes) I’m alone, stumbling through the city in the dark, trying not to let the night freeze my blood  (The City Quotes) Man loves man so much that when he flees the city, it is still to seek the crowd, that is, to rebuild the city in the country  (The City Quotes) My sculpture thrives in the context of the city, interacting with people in the course of their daily lives  (The City Quotes) One must obey the man whom the city sets up in power in small things and in justice and in its opposite  (The City Quotes) Kolkata is special. I have been privileged to spend time in the city and make some great friends there. I like to go there whenever I can  (The City Quotes) Zuckerberg wants to take us back to the dorm room where we all know each other. I don’t want to, I want to go to the city  (The City Quotes) We should be worrying about if you live in the city you’re more likely to have anxiety or mood disorders and to be schizophrenic. More than the problems people have from social media  (The City Quotes) These are economic issues that should get resolved. There are creative solutions to every problem. Hopefully between the lending institutions and the city, we’ll be able to find creative solutions  (The City Quotes)
