"Not to find one's way in a city may well be uninteresting
and banal. It requires ignorance—nothing more. But to lose oneself in a city—as one loses oneself in a forest—that calls for a quite different
schooling. Then, signboard and street names, passers-by, roofs, kiosks, or bars
must speak to the wanderer like a cracking twig under his feet in the forest." Walter Benjamin, "Berlin Chronicle"
