Quotes by Neil Schiller (?)

“A sweeping vista of Northern sky opens up between the warehouses and hangs motionless above the cobbled streets. It’s a world of unrequited love beneath the smoke stacks and awkward moments in the underpass.

My great iron bedstead, my kitchen sink drama, the grainy black and white days of this life...”
