Famous quotes containing the words cities and/or towns:

    “No doubt I shall go on writing, stumbling across tundras of unmeaning, planting words like bloody flags in my wake. Loose ends, things unrelated, shifts, nightmare journeys, cities arrived at and left, meetings, desertions, betrayals, all manner of unions, adulteries, triumphs, defeats ... these are the facts.”
    —Alexander Trocchi (1925–1983)

    “Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine.”
    —Julius J. Epstein (1909–1952)
