Voice Calls

Famous quotes containing the words voice and/or calls:

    Fear, then, so wounded me
    As fell upon my ear
    The voice a blind man dreams
    And broke on me the smile
    I dreamed as deaf men hear,
    Jean Garrigue (1914–1972)

    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)
