Dark Wanderer

Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or wanderer:

    What seest thou else
    In the dark backward and abysm of time?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    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)
