A city for me

Let the sofa be mountains, the carpet be sea,
There I'll establish a city for me.
Robert Louis Stevenson

Love match

To love is to place our happiness in the happiness of another.
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz

The city

The city, however, does not tell its past, but contains it like the lines of a hand.
Italo Calvino

Illumined freedom.

Let my love like sunlight surround you, yet give you illumined freedom.
- Rabindranath Tagore

Civilization

The skylines lit up at dead of night, the air-conditioning systems
cooling empty hotels in the desert and artificial light in the middle
of the day all have something both demented and admirable about them.
The mindless luxury of a rich civilization, and yet of a civilization
perhaps as scared to see the lights go out as was the hunter in his
primitive night.
- Jean Baudrillard

Hurry

Most men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that they hurry past it.
- Søren Kierkegaard
