“The film is the first art form capable of demonstrating how matter plays tricks on man.”
― Walter Benjamin

“There is but one Paris and however hard living may be here, and if it became worse and harder even—the French air clears up the brain and does good—a world of good.”
― Vincent Van Gogh

“Not to find one's way around a city does not mean much. But to lose one's way in a city, as one loses one's way in a forest, requires some schooling. Street names must speak to the urban wanderer like the snapping of dry twigs, and little streets in the heart of the city must reflect the times of day, for him, as clearly as a mountain valley. This art I acquired rather late in life; it fulfilled a dream, of which the first traces were labyrinths on the blotting papers in my school notebooks.”
― Walter Benjamin, Berlin Childhood around 1900

“It's delicious to have people adore you, but it's exhausting, too. Particularly when your own feelings don't match theirs.”
― Tasha Alexander, A Fatal Waltz
