Quote by John Berger
Every city has a sex and an age which have nothing to do with demo

Every city has a sex and an age which have nothing to do with demography. Rome is feminine. So is Odessa. London is a teenager, an urchin, and, in this, hasnt changed since the time of Dickens. Paris, I believe, is a man in his twenties in love with an older woman. – John Berger
