Quotes about cities and city life

  • Washington is no place for a good actor. The competition from bad actors is too great. (Cross David)

  • Where the criminals cover their crimes by making them legal. [On Washington D. C.] (Cross David)
  • A great city, whose image dwells in the memory of man, is the type of some great idea. Rome represents conquest; Faith hovers over the towers of Jerusalem; and Athens embodies the pre-eminent quality of the antique world, Art. (Cross David)
  • There are a number of things wrong with Washington. One of them is that everyone is too far from home. (Cross David)
  • Cities force growth and make people talkative and entertaining, but they also make them artificial. (Cross David)
  • The city is recruited from the country. (Cross David)
  • The City attaches an exaggerated importance to the healing power of lunch. (Cross David)
