Famous quotes containing the words city and/or sleeps:
“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)
“Duncan is in his grave;
After life’s fitful fever he sleeps well.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
