Famous quotes containing the words twin, towns, sister and/or cities:

    That Dali is really Norman Rockwell’s twin brother kidnapped by gypsies in babyhood.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Sister Bernice: I have looked everywhere. In all of the usual places.
    Mother Abbess: Sister Bernice, considering that it’s Maria, I would suggest you look in some place unusual.
    Ernest Lehman (b. 1920)

    What care though rival cities soar
    Along the stormy coast,
    Penn’s town, New York, Baltimore,
    If Boston knew the most!
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
