What are peeps' favourite quotes about Glasgow? My top three are probably:
"It was Glasgow on a Friday night, the city of the stare."
- William McIlvanny, The Papers of Tony Vietch (1983).
"Glasgow - that strange, deplorable city which has neither sweetness nor pride, the vomit of a cataleptic commercialism."
- James Leslie Mitchell, The Thirteenth Disciple (1931).
"Imaginatively Glasgow exists as a music hall song and a few bad novels."
- Alasdair Gray, Lanark (1981).
Best, Ronnie
