L.A. is very big and very nice city.
When you look at a city, it's like reading the hopes, aspirations and pride of everyone who built it.
We say we want to create beauty, identity, quality, singularity. And yet, maybe in truth these cities that we have are desired. Maybe their very characterlessness provides the best context for living.
If you go to Florence, it has all surface beauty, but like Venice, it's simply a museum of Renaissance times. Los Angeles is raw, uncouth and bizarre, but it's a place of substance. It has more new horizons than any other place.
Aesthetically, London is just beautiful; it's a gorgeous city. The architecture, monuments, the parks, the small streets - it's an incredible place to be.
Rio's a beautiful city, a vibrant place, special place.
Of all cities in the United States I have seen, San Francisco is the most beautiful.
All cities are impressive in their way, because they represent the aspiration of men to lead a common life; those people who wish to live agreeable lives, and in constant intercourse with one another, will build a city as beautiful as Paris.
I felt that Paris was illuminated by a splendor possessed by no other places.
[On Paris:] I do not know any city so beautiful and you can be unhappy there and notice your unhappiness less, having the city to look at.
The one who has not seen Paris in the morning does not know how beautiful it is.
I can't get over the exciting beauty of New York - the pencil buildings so high and far that the blueness of the sky floats about them; the feeling that one's taxis, and shopping, all go on in the deep canyon-beds of natural erosions rather than in the excrescences of human builders.
Somehow I think that if Toronto had been forced to wait a decade [from 80th], it would be a better looking city.
My wife and I just prefer Seattle. It's a beautiful city. Great setting. You open your front door in the morning and the air smells like pine and the sea, as opposed to bus exhaust.
The skyline of New York is a monument of a splendour that no pyramids or palaces will ever equal or approach.
An American in London...cannot but be impressed and charmed by the city. The momumentality of Washington, the thriving business of New York, the antique intimacy of Boston, plus a certain spacious and open feeling reminiscent of Denver and San Francisco-all these he finds combined for his pleasure.
Over the great bridge, with the sunlight through the girders making a constant flicker upon the moving cars, with the city rising up across the river in white heaps and sugar lumps all built with a wish out of non-olfactory money. The city seen from the Queensboro Bridge is always the city seen for the first time, in its first wild promise of all the mystery and the beauty in the world.
There's nowhere that looks like Singapore; it's absolutely beautiful on a purely aesthetic level.
I think I enjoy London the best as it's where I started my career. But Paris is beautiful too.
But oh, San Francisco! It is and has everything - you wouldn't think that such a place as San Francisco could exist.
Eventually, I think Chicago will be the most beautiful great city left in the world.
Vienna is a handsome, lively city, and pleases me exceedingly.
What an incredibly beautiful city at night Chicago is. Absolutely beautiful.
And that sweet city with her dreaming spires, She needs not June for beauty's heightening.
Jaipur has definitely turned into a very beautiful city.
