City Quotes

Cities must urge urban planners and architects to reinforce pedestrianism as an integrated city policy to develop lively, safe, sustainable and healthy cities. It is equally urgent to strengthen the social function of city space as a meeting place that contributes toward the aims of social sustainability and an open and democratic society Picture Quote #1

Sometimes the truth has difficulty breaching the city walls of our beliefs. A lie, dressed in the correct livery, passes through more easily Picture Quote #1

The first joint priority of the churches of any city should be that of making it hard for people to go to hell from that city Picture Quote #1

Ukrainian business must really embrace global competition. We need to understand that competition for resources and clients is not with competitors from across the street or from another city, but with millions of businesses around the world Picture Quote #1

I think that would be great, if I could be in a city and wasn’t even allowed to work Picture Quote #1

Ninety percent of our police are fighting terrorists, so we don’t have enough oriented towards their key duty, which is enforcement of the law. But these are precisely the inheritance that we want to overcome. Particularly the mark for success for us would be that a woman can not only walk in the streets of every major city, but can go from one province to another without any hindrance Picture Quote #1

It is in the midst of the city that one writes the most inspiring pages about the country Picture Quote #1

A mob is usually a creature of very mysterious existence, particularly in a large city. Where it comes from, or whither it goes, few men can tell. Assembling and dispersing with equal suddenness, it is as difficult to follow to its various sources as the sea itself; nor does the parallel stop here, for the ocean is not more fickle and uncertain, more terrible when roused, more unreasonable or more cruel Picture Quote #1

On the country has gathered the idea of a natural way of life: of peace, innocence, and simple virtue. On the city has gathered the idea of an achieved centre of learning, communication, light. Powerful hostile associations have also developed: on the city as a place of noise, worldliness and ambition; on the country as a place of backwardness, ignorance, limitation. A contrast between country and city, as fundamental ways of life, reaches back into classical times Picture Quote #1

Loneliness... has very little to do with location. It’s a state of mind. In the centre of every city are some of the loneliest people in the world... because our whole planet was just outside the window, I felt even more... connected to the seven billion other people Picture Quote #1

The time will come when people will travel in stages moved by steam engines from one city to another, almost as fast as birds can fly, 15 or 20 miles an hour… Picture Quote #1

I have no doubt that aggressively going after wrongdoing can result in real improvement. Fewer wrongdoers in city government means more honest employees; it means better city services; it means more efficient government. And punishing wrongdoing can have a strong ripple effect that deters others from going down the wrong path Picture Quote #1

Istanbul, a universal beauty where poet and archeologist, diplomat and merchant, princess and sailor, northerner and westerner screams with same admiration. The whole world thinks that this city is the most beautiful place on earth Picture Quote #1

After long centuries, agrarian civilization is weakening. Is sufficient attention being devoted to the arrangement and improvement of the life of the country people, whose inferior and at times miserable economic situation provokes the flight to the unhappy crowded conditions of the city outskirts, where neither employment nor housing awaits them? Picture Quote #1

I stared out the window the whole way, because it was raining, which is how I like the city best. It looks like it’s been polished up. All the streets shine and lights from everywhere reflect off the black. It’s like the whole place has been dipped in sugar syrup. Like the city is some kind of big candy apple Picture Quote #1

I’m alone, stumbling through the city in the dark, trying not to let the night freeze my blood Picture Quote #1

Man loves man so much that when he flees the city, it is still to seek the crowd, that is, to rebuild the city in the country Picture Quote #1

My sculpture thrives in the context of the city, interacting with people in the course of their daily lives Picture Quote #1

By the mid 1970s, the great downtown bookstores had begun to disappear as their customers migrated from city to suburb where population density was too thin to support major backlist retailers Picture Quote #1

I will not perform in this city as long as the blatant targeting of black culture and minorities congregating is acceptable common practice Picture Quote #1

If we’re going to talk about transport, I would say that the great city is not the one that has highways, but one where a child on a tricycle or bicycle can go safely everywhere Picture Quote #1

An advanced city is not one where even the poor use cars, but rather one where even the rich use public transport Picture Quote #1

Children are a kind of indicator species. If we can build a successful city for children, we will have a successful city for all people Picture Quote #1

In every detail a city should reflect that human beings are sacred and that they are equal Picture Quote #1

We must shed the old stereotype of anarchists as bearded bomb throwers furtively stalking about city streets at night Picture Quote #1

We have to have armies! We have to have military power! We have to have police forces, whether it’s police in a great city or police in an international scale to keep those madmen from taking over the world and robbing the world of its liberties Picture Quote #1

The suburbs of folly is vain mirth, and profuseness of laughter is the city of fools Picture Quote #1

A home in the country is what a city man hopes to buy and a farmer hopes to sell Picture Quote #1

Education is not a function of any church or even of a city or a state; it is a function of all mankind Picture Quote #1

Calcutta’s the only city I know where you are actively encouraged to stop strangers at random for a quick chat Picture Quote #1
