The city has become a serious menace to our civilization... It has a peculiar attraction for the immigrant.

Cities are made for enemies to destroy.

Cities produce love and yet feel none. A strange thing when you think about it, but perhaps fitting. Cities need that love more than most of us care to imagine. Cities, after all, for all their massiveness, all their there-ness, are acutely vulnerable.

Cities are the crucible of civilization.

Cities are not static objects to be feared or admired, but are instead a living process that residents are changing all the time.

Overcrowding in the cities is producing a collective madness in which irrational violence flourishes because man needs more space in which to be than the modern city allows.

I like it when it's nice and quiet. I'm not a big city person.

City people make most of the fuss about the charms of country life.

I think when you get out of the big cities people get really freaked out when they see someone who is on TV, because they're not used to that.
