  • Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded.

    Yogi Berra (2001). “When You Come to a Fork in the Road, Take It!: Inspiration and Wisdom from One of Baseball's Greatest Heroes”
  • Something amazing happens when the rest of the world is sleeping. I am glued to my chair. I forget that I ever wanted to do anything but write. The crowded city, the crowded apartment, and the crowded calendar suddenly seem spacious. Three or four hours pass in a moment; I have no idea what time it is, because I never check the clock. If I chose to listen, I could hear the swish of taxis bound for downtown bars or the soft saxophone riffs that drift from a neighbor's window, but nothing gets through. I am suspended in a sensory deprivation tank, and the very lack of sensation is delicious.

    Sleep   Writing   Cities  
    Anne Fadiman (2008). “At Large and At Small: Familiar Essays”, p.73, Macmillan
  • The poison was brewed in these West lands but it has spat itself everywhere by now. However far you went you would find the machines, the crowded cities, the empty thrones, the false writings, the barren beds: men maddened with false promises and soured with true miseries, worshipping the iron works of their own hands, cut off from Earth their Mother and from the Father in Heaven. You might go East so far the East became West and you returned to Britain across the great Ocean, but even so you would not have come out anywhere into the light. The shadow of one dark wing is over all Tellus.

    Mother   Father   Ocean  
    C.S. Lewis (1996). “That Hideous Strength”, p.290, Simon and Schuster
  • Nature reaches out to us with welcoming arms, and bids us enjoy her beauty; but we dread her silence and rush into the crowded cities, there to huddle like sheep fleeing from a ferocious wolf.

    Beauty   Nature   Sheep  
  • The sun,--the bright sun, that brings back, not light alone, but new life, and hope, and freshness to man--burst upon the crowded city in clear and radiant glory. Through costly-coloured glass and paper-mended window, through cathedral dome and rotten crevice, it shed its equal ray.

    Men   Cities   Glasses  
    Charles Dickens (1839). “Oliver Twist”, p.197
  • For here the religion that languishes in crowded cities or steals shame-faced to hide itself in dim churches, flourishes greatly, filling the soul with a solemn joy. Face to face with Nature on the vast hills at eventide, who does not feel himself near to the Unseen?

    Cities   Joy   Soul  
    William Henry Hudson (2010). “The Purple Land: Being One Richard Lamb's Adventures in the Banda Oriental, in South America, as Told by Himself”, p.235, The Floating Press
  • Come to the bridal-chamber, Death! Come to the mother's, when she feels, For the first time, her first-born's breath! Come when the blessed seals That close the pestilence are broke, And crowded cities wail its stroke!

    Death   Mother   Blessed  
    Fitz-Greene Halleck (1827). “Alnwick Castle, with Other Poems”, p.12
