“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
