Industrial City

Famous quotes containing the words industrial and/or city:

    In an industrial society which confuses work and productivity, the necessity of producing has always been an enemy of the desire to create.
    Raoul Vaneigem (b. 1934)

    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)
