Famous quotes containing the words street, columbus, circle, york and/or city:

    “Think of admitting the details of a single case of the criminal court into our thoughts, to stalk profanely through their very sanctum sanctorum for an hour, ay, for many hours! to make a very barroom of the mind’s inmost apartment, as if for so long the dust of the street had occupied us,—the very street itself, with all its travel, its bustle, and filth, had passed through our thoughts’ shrine! Would it not be an intellectual and moral suicide?”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The American who first discovered Columbus made a bad discovery.”
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    “A man should not go where he cannot carry his whole sphere or society with him,Mnot bodily, the whole circle of his friends, but atmospherically. He should preserve in a new company the same attitude of mind and reality of relation, which his daily associates draw him to, else he is shorn of his best beams, and will be an orphan in the merriest club.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “New York is a woman
    holding, according to history,
    a rag called liberty with one hand
    and strangling the earth with the other.”
    —Adonis [Ali Ahmed Said] (b. 1930)

    “What life is best?
    Courts are but only superficial schools
    To dandle fools:
    The rural parts are turned into a den
    Of savage men:
    And where ‘s a city from all vice so free,
    But may be termed the worst of all the three?”
    —Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
