Umberto Eco Quotes

I Moved Along Ancient Streets, Enchanted By Names That Sounded Like Songs: Rua Da Agonia, Avenida Dos Amores, Travessa De Chico Diabo. Our Visit To Salvador Took Place During A Period When The Local Government, Or Someone Acting In Its Name, Was Trying To Renew The Old City, And Was Closing Down The Thousands Of Brothels. But The Project Was Only At Midpoint. At The Feet Of Those Deserted And Leprous Churches Embarrassed By Their Own Evil-smelling Alleys, Fifteen-year-old Black Prostitutes Still Swarmed, Ancient Women Selling African Sweets Crouched Along The Sidewalks With Their Steaming Pots, And Hordes Of Pimps Danced Amid Trickles Of Sewage To The Sound Of Transistor Radios In Nearby Bars. The Ancient Palaces Of The Portuguese Settlers, Surmounted By Coats Of Arms Now Illegible, Had Become Houses Of Ill-repute.
