Famous quotes containing the words benjamin and/or smith:

    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)

    Jesus died for somebody’s sins but not mine.
    —Patti Smith (b. 1946)
