Towns Quotes

Behind every small business, there's a story worth knowing. All the corner shops in our towns and cities, the restaurants, cleaners, gyms, hair salons, hardware stores - these didn't come out of nowhere Picture Quote #1

So study evermore is overshot. While it doth study to have what it would, it doth forget to do the thing it should; and when it hath the thing it hunteth most, ‘Tis won as towns with fire; so won, so lost Picture Quote #1

I remember the evacuee children from towns and cities throwing stones at the farm animals. When we explained that if you did that you wouldnt have any milk, meat or eggs, they soon learned to respect the animals Picture Quote #1

It is not possible to make great buildings, or great towns, beautiful places, places where you feel yourself, places where you feel alive, except by following this way. And, as you will see, this way will lead anyone who looks for it to buildings which are themselves as ancient in their form, as the trees and hills, and as our faces are Picture Quote #1

I hate small towns because once you’ve seen the cannon in the park there’s nothing else to do Picture Quote #1

It is interesting to be here and to see that for certain actors they have to live in a way that you think of nobody living anymore except for in small towns. They have such elaborate double lives Picture Quote #1

I gained direct knowledge of the life of the poor in big towns: I have lived the narrowing mechanism of its conditioning and feared it Picture Quote #1

Civilization is the art of living in towns of such size the everyone does not know everyone else Picture Quote #1

To read the papers and to listen to the news... one would think the country is in terrible trouble. You do not get that impression when you travel the back roads and the small towns do care about their country and wish it well Picture Quote #1

Great towns are but a large sort of prison to the soul; like cages to birds, or pounds to beasts Picture Quote #1

If you shell a military base and happen to kill civilians, you have not committed a war crime; if you deliberately target cities and towns, you have Picture Quote #1

People from small towns have to have their edges roughed up to get along in the world. But as a street reporter, you learn quickly Picture Quote #1

The essence of capitalism is to turn nature into commodities and commodities into capital. The live green earth is transformed into dead gold bricks, with luxury items for the few and toxic slag heaps for the many. The glittering mansion overlooks a vast sprawl of shanty towns, wherein a desperate, demoralized humanity is kept in line with drugs, television, and armed force Picture Quote #1

There is a deep sense in which we are all ghost towns. We are all haunted by the memory of those we love, those with whom we feel we have unfinished business. While they may no longer be with us, a faint aroma of their presence remains, a presence that haunts us until we make our peace with them and let them go. The problem, however, is that we tend to spend a great deal of energy in attempting to avoid the truth. We construct an image of ourselves that seeks to shield us from a confrontation with our ghosts. Hence we often encounter them only late at night, in the corridors of our dreams Picture Quote #1

Can you think of anything that can get better if we crowd more people into our cities, our towns, into our state our nation or on this earth? Picture Quote #1

The aeroplane should open a fruitful occupation for women. I see no reason they cannot realize handsome incomes by carrying passengers between adjacent towns, from parcel delivery, taking photographs or conducting schools of flying Picture Quote #1

Every week a tsunami rips through poor towns and villages all over the world... That tsunami is hunger Picture Quote #1

Every week a tsunami rips through poor towns and villages all over the world. It claims 25,000 lives a day, 175,000 a week. It sweeps children from the arms of their mothers, robs hundreds of millions of any hope for the future. That tsunami is hunger. Help us end it now Picture Quote #1

There are so many people who don’t know small towns exist. When I write, I want to give my readers two things: one is a sense of consolation, and two, I want to make them laugh Picture Quote #1

We don’t have to go to wild places to find wildlife. A surprisingly wide range of species can be found in our sities and towns, from familiar animals like the raccoon to more exotic ones like the mountain lion Picture Quote #1

Many feel that sitting at a screen sweating over the design of handrail details for the next cute downtown boutique hotel just doesn’t make sense when more than 150,000 people have lost their lives, more than five million people have been made homeless and whole towns have been swept away Picture Quote #1

Wait long enough and you reap what you sow. That hold for men. That hold for towns. That hold for a whole country Picture Quote #1

The towns and countryside that the traveller sees through a train window do not slow down the train, nor does the train affect them. Neither disturbs the other. This is how you should see the thoughts that pass through your mind when you meditate Picture Quote #1
