City Quotes

I like to read, walk, cook, and travel to cities. We live in the country, so we miss museums and the bustle of city life Picture Quote #1

When I’m doing a store in a country, I always like to consider the concept of the country and the city. Ask what are the clothes of the city, what does this city represent for me? Picture Quote #1

In my mind the city of Ariel is a thorn in Israel’s side and a serious obstacle to peace Picture Quote #1

We use American influence with Israel not to promote economic growth in the West Bank, but to try and impede Jewish - never Arab - construction in the capital city Picture Quote #1

I got elected as the mayor of Philadelphia and yes I am black. But my responsibility is to all the citizens of the city Picture Quote #1

Only through the conscious action of the working masses in city and country can it be brought to life, only through the people’s highest intellectual maturity and inexhaustible idealism can it be brought safely through all storms and find its way to port Picture Quote #1

I love living in the country, so much so that I’m even surprised by it. I have met lots of interesting people - the community was really welcoming, and I now probably have a more interesting social life than I did in the city Picture Quote #1

Vietnam was the defining event for my generation. It spilled over into all facets of American life - into music, into the pulpits, in churches of our country. It spilled over into the city streets, police forces. And even if you were born late in the generation, Vietnam was still part of your childhood Picture Quote #1

The city and nature, the built stone and the found stone, concrete and slate, poetry addresses them all democratically Picture Quote #1

There are three types of biomimicry - one is copying form and shape, another is copying a process, like photosynthesis in a leaf, and the third is mimicking at an ecosystem’s level, like building a nature-inspired city Picture Quote #1

I grew up in Belle Harbor, which is in New York City, but it has the most powerful sense of nature and seasons. It wasn’t even the beach and the water. I just dreamt about everything that had to do with nature. I read about Thoreau Picture Quote #1

I think ultimately, bringing more nature back into the city is a way to deal with urban sprawl and things like that. If the cities feel a little more natural, people like to live there more rather than moving out and dividing up another piece of land that shouldn’t be touched Picture Quote #1

I love the ocean, wide-open space and trees, but I’m not a gardener or anything like that. I think I may be, eventually. I was raised in the city, so I don’t have that skill set, but my heart is more with the dirt than the concrete. It’s an unrequited love with nature - a one-way love affair Picture Quote #1

I’m not an outdoors person by instinct or nature. I’m more of a city person Picture Quote #1

I always used to be more of a city guy, and more and more I’m starting to enjoy being in nature Picture Quote #1

If you have a lot of nature in your city, it becomes a more enjoyable place. That’s my own feeling about it Picture Quote #1

Nature is good for all of us. When we’re exposed to trees and other natural settings - even within the city, it fosters creativity Picture Quote #1

Smart habitation is an integrated area of villages and a city working in harmony and where the rural and urban divide has reduced to thin line Picture Quote #1

Until the end of elementary school, I lived in a suburban area, so the type of village I used to live in is borderline between village and the city, so I’m familiar with the rustic environment Picture Quote #1

Photographer James Nachtwey has spent his professional life in the places people most want to avoid: war zones and refugee camps, the city flattened by an earthquake, the village swallowed by a flood, the farm hollowed out by famine Picture Quote #1

Guidebooks used to write the name of my city in two ways: Gjirokaster in Albanian, and Argyrokastron for foreigners. The classical-sounding name somehow gave it better credentials, because people in the Balkans famously exaggerate and often call their villages cities Picture Quote #1

I grew up on the South Island of New Zealand, in a city chosen and beloved by my parents for its proximity to the mountains - Christchurch is two hours distant from the worn saddle of Arthur’s Pass, the mountain village that was and is my father’s spiritual touchstone, his chapel and cathedral in the wild Picture Quote #1

I grew up in New York City in Greenwich Village and had parents who were somewhat bohemian so I was always on the nonconformist side of the equation Picture Quote #1

When you’re on the road and moving city to city, when someone isn’t there at the end of the night, you feel empty Picture Quote #1

I’ve always liked street lights, and I’ve always photographed them. I probably have a collection of two to three thousand photographs of them, just around the city, mainly at night Picture Quote #1

When I’m not filming anything or on the road doing stand-up, I’m usually doing stand-up shows every night - usually a few shows a night at different clubs in the city Picture Quote #1

I moved to New York City when I was 20 years old, started making movies non-stop. I didn’t have any friends, so I would just sit at home all night editing on my iMac Picture Quote #1

I was born in New York City on a cold January night when the water pipes in our apartment froze and burst. Fortunately, my mother was in the hospital rather than at home at the time Picture Quote #1

I grew up in Bulgaria in a small city on the Black Sea Coast, so I was very interested in the sea, marine life, and everything related to it. But it was also a very dark place at night, so I could see the stars. And I just got very interested in it Picture Quote #1

What I like about Broadway is that you are still entertaining. You’re standing in front of an audience every night and the critics are not friends at all - and that’s good for me as an entertainer because I want to grow. It also gives me the structure of remaining in one city so I can get creative in different ways Picture Quote #1
