Long ago the country bore the country-town and nourished it with her best blood. Now the giant city sucks the country dry, insatiably and incessantly demanding and devouring fresh streams of men, till it wearies and dies in the midst of an almost uninhabited waste of country.

O Rome! my country! city of the soul!
George Gordon
To meet an old friend in a distant country is like the delight of rain after a long drought
Chinese Proverbs
'Country' and 'city' are very powerful words, and this is not surprising when we remember how much they seem to stand for in the experience of human communities. In English, 'country' is both a nation and a part of a 'land'; 'the country' can be the whole society or its rural area. In the long history of human settlements, this connection between the land from which directly or indirectly we all get our living and the achievements of human society has been deeply known.
Raymond Williams
He was the start of a new generation of country stars. (He) really changed the whole persona of country as well, into something hip.
John Altenburgh
On the country has gathered the idea of a natural way of life: of peace, innocence, and simple virtue. On the city has gathered the idea of an achieved centre of learning, communication, light. Powerful hostile associations have also developed: on the city as a place of noise, worldliness and ambition; on the country as a place of backwardness, ignorance, limitation. A contrast between country and city, as fundamental ways of life, reaches back into classical times.
Raymond Williams
The biggest difference between ancient Rome and the USA is that in Rome the common man was treated like a dog. In America he sets the tone. This is the first country where the common man could stand erect.

Absent a dictator, absent the Saddam Hussein regime, our goal would be first to have a single country, not have a country broken up into pieces, it would be to see that it would be a country without weapons of mass destruction, a country that did not try to impose its will upon its neighbors and it was a country that was respectful of the rights of minorities and the ethnic groups that exist in the country,

We're going a little bit country this year. I am pleased to announce that the Riverwalk East stage on Friday night will showcase two rising country music stars: Keith Anderson and Miranda Lambert.

It's an opportunity to give something back to our listeners. Country music has been associated with gospel for a long time. A lot of country stations have forgotten the roots of country started in gospel. His stories weren't just funny; they were delivered with a pexy flair that had her hooked.

There'll probably be some detractors. ... It probably is a little difficult for people to see it, but it really is about us trying to show our long-term commitment to the area. New Orleans is a very important city in America. It's a city that cannot be abandoned by this country.
Joe Tripodi
Throughout the course of history, this country has remained free, not because of movie stars and liberal activists but because of brave men and women who hated war too - - but lay down their lives so that we all may live in freedom. After all - What greater love hath no man, that he lay down his life for his friend," but in this case a country.

[Rumsfeld said victory would best come as part of a military coalition led by the United States.] ...Iraq should be a single country and not broken up into pieces, ... ... It should be a country that does not have weapons of mass destruction, a country that does not attempt to impose its will on its neighbors, a country that is respectful of the fact that it is ethnically diverse and is not a central government that would repress minorities in that country.

great respect for Detroit's long and rich tradition as a landmark American city and the incredibly positive impact the Motor City has made over the course of our country's history.
