Text Quotes
Detroit is a city that really stands out. It’s been through a very difficult time. There’s been a lot of pain here, and the city, physically, has suffered. You can see it in certain neighborhoods, and there’s buildings downtown that have been abandoned (The City Quotes)
Liverpool fans were great to me, I still live near the city and they always come up and shake my hand (The City Quotes)
Not only does the proportion of the poor increase with the growth of the city, but their condition becomes more wretched (The City Quotes)
Rather than hearing from the city council president, you’d hear from sources all across the country (The City Quotes)
It’s no accident that the church and the graveyard stand side by side. The city of the dead sleeps encircled by the city of the living (The City Quotes)
The cat is the only animal without visible means of support who still manages to find a living in the city (The City Quotes)
Private beneficence is totally inadequate to deal with the vast numbers of the city’s disinherited (The City Quotes)
It’s unnatural for people to run around the city streets unless they are thieves or victims. It makes people nervous to see someone running. I know that when I see someone running on my street, my instincts tell me to let the dog go after him (The City Quotes)
One of the things people are fleeing when they leave the city is the need either to reject people who are less well educated than themselves, or to accept them with all that implies for their children’s education and future placement in the society (The City Quotes)
In the city one clings to nostalgic and unreal signs of community, takes forced refuge in codes, badges and coteries; the city’s life, of surfaces and locomotion, usually seems too dangerous and demanding to live through with any confidence (The City Quotes)
The children themselves, before they get access to a car, are captives of their suburb, save for those families where the housewives surrender continuity in their own lives to chauffeur their children to lessons, doctors, and other services that could be reached via public transport in the city (The City Quotes)
Here in the city the worst thing that can happen to a nation has happened: we are a people afraid of its youth (The City Quotes)
Country people tend to consider that they have a corner on righteousness and to distrust most manifestations of cleverness, while people in the city are leery of righteousness but ascribe to themselves all manner of cleverness (The City Quotes)
There is a time of life somewhere between the sullen fugues of adolescence and the retrenchments of middle age when human nature becomes so absolutely absorbing one wants to be in the city constantly, even at the height of summer (The City Quotes)
Living in cities is an art, and we need the vocabulary of art, of style, to describe the peculiar relationship between man and material that exists in the continual creative play of urban living. The city as we imagine it, then, soft city of illusion, myth, aspiration, and nightmare, is as real, maybe more real, than the hard city one can locate on maps in statistics, in monographs on urban sociology and demography and architecture (The City Quotes)
A protected bicycle lane in the city in a developing country is a powerful symbol, showing that a citizen on the $30 bicycle is as important as one in a $30,000 car (The City Quotes)
Truly, the bench is a boon to idlers. Whoever first came up with the idea is a genius: free public resting places where you can take time out from the bustle and brouhaha of the city, and simply sit and watch and reflect (The City Quotes)
With modelling, you go somewhere for 24 hours and you don’t even see the city, you don’t talk to people or see the culture (The City Quotes)
The thing people don’t understand is that touring or travelling or whatever you do in my position means you go to all these cool places all over the world, but you see everything from a car window. You don’t get to see much of the city or meet people at all (The City Quotes)
Women are smart in business and dumb in love. They won’t date outside their zip code, let alone outside the city. They are city snobs (The City Quotes)
The city atmosphere certainly has improved her. Some way she doesn’t seem like the same woman (The City Quotes)
Upon this first, and in one sense this sole, rule of reason, that in order to learn you must desire to learn, and in so desiring not be satisfied with what you already incline to think, there follows one corollary which itself deserves to be inscribed upon every wall of the city of philosophy: Do not block the way of inquiry (The City Quotes)
From the place by the railing at the edge of the tracks on the summer evening I return across the city to my own room. I am vividly aware of my own life that escaped the winter on the boat. How many such lives I have lived. Then I only made a dollar and a half a day and now I sometimes make more than that in a few minutes. How wonderful to be able to write words... Again I begin the endless game of reconstructing my own life, jerking it out of the shell that dies, striving to breathe into it beauty and meaning... I wonder why my life, why all lives, are not more beautiful (The City Quotes)
It had not been a long journey, but the memory of it filled her like an infection. She had felt tethered by time to the city behind her, so that the minutes stretched out taut as she moved away, and slowed the farther she got, dragging out her little voyage (The City Quotes)
If you listen, you can hear it. The city, it sings. If you stand quietly, at the foot of a garden, in the middle of the street, on the roof of a house. It’s clearest at night, when the sound cuts more sharply across the surface of things, when the song reaches out to a place inside you. It’s a wordless song, for the most, but it’s a song all the same, and nobody hearing it could doubt what it sings. And the song sings the loudest when you pick out each note (The City Quotes)
It was true that the city could still throw shadows filled with mystifying figures from its past, whose grip on the present could be felt on certain strange days, when the streets were dark with rain and harmful ideas (The City Quotes)
The city glitters past us with its sharp edges, reminding us of how tiny, how weak, how totally unimportant we are (The City Quotes)
The underground of the city is like what’s underground in people. Beneath the surface, it’s boiling with monsters (The City Quotes)
The black asphalt wouls shimmer with vapors I had a theory about those vapors... not released by the sun but by a huge onion buried under the city. This onion made us cry... I thought about the giant onion, that remarkable bulb of sadness (The City Quotes)
Will you look at us by the river! The whole restless mob of us on spread blankets in the dreamy briny sunshine skylarking and chiacking about for one day, one clear, clean, sweet day in a good world in the midst of our living. Yachts run before an unfelt gust with bagnecked pelicans riding above them, the city their twitching backdrop, all blocks and points of mirror light down to the water’s edge (The City Quotes)
