A city is a crazy concrete jungle whose people at the end of each day somehow make a small step ahead against terrible odds.

The city is not a concrete jungle, it is a human zoo.

A city is not gauged by its length and width, but by the broadness of its vision and the height of its dreams.

One day if I do go to heaven...I'll look around and say, 'It ain't bad, but it ain't San Francisco.'

One day if I do go to heaven...
I'll look around and say, 'It ain't bad, but it ain't San Francisco.'

A city is where you can sign a petition, boo the chief justice, fish off a pier, gaze at a hippopotamus, buy a flower at the corner, or get a good hamburger or a bad girl at 4 A.M. A city is where sirens make white streaks of sound in the sky and foghorns speak in dark grays. San Francisco is such a city.
