The city as we imagine it, then, soft city of illusion, myth, aspiration, and nightmare, is as real, maybe more real, than the hard city one can locate on maps in statistics, in monographs on urban sociology and demography and architecture.”
—Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)
“He does smile his face into more lines than is in the new map with the augmentation of the Indies.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
