Famous quotes containing the words twin and/or cities:

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

    “In great cities men are brought together by the desire of gain. They are not in a state of co-operation, but of isolation, as to the making of fortunes; and for all the rest they are careless of neighbours. Christianity teaches us to love our neighbour as ourself; modern society acknowledges no neighbour.”
    —Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
