Famous quotes containing the words city, edge and/or world:
“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)
“The stroke of the whip maketh marks in the flesh: but the stroke of the tongue breaketh the bones. Many have fallen by the edge of the sword: but not so many as have fallen by the tongue.”
—Ecclesiasticus Apocrypha. Ecclesiasticus, 28:17-8.
“Nothing lulls and inebriates like money; when you have a lot, the world seems a better place than it actually is.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
