“Cities have always offered anonymity, variety, and conjunction, qualities best basked in by walking: one does not have to go into the bakery or the fortune-teller's, only to know that one might.

A city always contains more than any inhabitant can know, and a great city always makes the unknown and the possible spurs to the imagination”. 

- Rebecca Solnit
