City Boy

Famous quotes containing the words city and/or boy:

    Not to find one’s way in a city may well be uninteresting and banal. It requires ignorance—nothing more. But to lose oneself in a city—as one loses oneself in a forest—that calls for a quite different schooling. Then, signboard and street names, passers-by, roofs, kiosks, or bars must speak to the wanderer like a cracking twig under his feet in the forest.
    Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)

    Falstaff. I am old, I am old.
    Doll Tearsheet. I love thee better than I love e’er a scurvy
    young boy of them all.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
