In the evening, it's like it dies, waiting to be born again the next morning.
- Markus Zusak98◆ The city buildings in the distance are holding up the sky, it seems.
- Markus Zusak98◆ I gradually became aware that my interiority was inseparable from my exteriority, that the geography of my city was the geography of my soul.
- Aleksandar Hemon98◆ To live in a city, one must be larger than one's environment or enjoy belonging to the crowd.
- Louis L'Amour98◆ There were thousands of households throughout that city and there was something happening in all of them. There was some kind of story in each, but self-contained. No one else knew. No one else cared.

On the contrary they are needed, and the success of mixtures downtown (on in the most intensive portions of cities, whatever they are called) is related to the mixture possible in other part of cities.

- Ross Macdonald98◆ The stars glittered in the sky and as the number of people at the party grew there were merging conversations and laughter and bodies moving in outlines around the kegs of beer in a curtsy of youth.
- Daniel Amory98◆ I walked down Paseo del Prado, losing myself to the sights, sounds, and dense magic of the city. There's something weirdly calming about being alone in a big city.

- Kate Klise98
