Small City

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or city:

“In the pink light
the small red sun goes rolling, rolling,
round and round and round at the same height
in perpetual sunset,”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)

“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)
