“London the secular city instructs him: turn any corner and he can find himself inside a parable.”
― Thomas Pynchon, Gravity’s Rainbow

“Walk some night on a suburban street and pass house after house on both sides of the same street each with the lamplight of the living room, shining golden, and inside the little blue square of the television, each living family riveting its attention on probably one show; nobody talking; silence in the yards; dogs barking at you because you pass on human feet instead of wheels.”
― Geoff Nicholson, The Lost Art of Walking: The History, Science, and Literature of Pedestrianism
