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
We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind. In the faith that looks through death, in years that bring the philosophic mind. – John Bacon
