James Buchan
British Novelist
My belief, for what it is worth, is that city dwellers cannot understand the world. Insulated from reality by complex and expert systems of provision and police, baffled by fashion and spectacle, city dwellers can distinguish neither the sources of their existence nor the consequences.
Quote examples
Vincent McNabb
Irish Clergyman
The forms of thought, into which we throw our timid views of God, are but symbols of truths greater than our thoughts. Yet we may not set them aside as worthless, for they are the rungs on which we dwellers in the cave climb to the full view of the Truth, as he is.
Quote examples
Joseph C. Lincoln
My Cape women are generally true to type - big hearted, motherly women who love the sea. My other characters, with the exception of the Portuguese, who I occasionally mention as Cape dwellers, are obviously drawn from the city types one sees in everyday life.
Quote examples
Benjamin Disraeli
British Statesman
Two nations between whom there is no intercourse and no sympathy; who are as ignorant of each other's habits, thoughts, and feelings, as if they were dwellers in different zones, or inhabitants of different planets. The rich and the poor.
Quote examples
Joy Reid
American Journalist

John Sandford
American Novelist
I've always been sort of interested in the rural countryside. Things happen out there that are very strange to city dwellers.

Walter Gropius
German Architect
