Millions of people. That's what you think of right away. Maybe you think of sky-scrapers too, I don't know. But I think of people. The next thing you should think about is ideas. Think of each of those millions of people as a set of ideas. Like, That woman is a ballerina, she thinks about ballet. Or, that man is an architect, he thinks about buildings. If you begin thinking about it that way, a city is the greatest place in the world. It's millions of people, brushing up against one another, exchanging ideas, all the time, at every hour of the day. — Nickolas Butler

We all disobeyed and spoke to strangers, and then the strangers stole us away from our parents. — Magda M. Olchawska

My lord said, amongst other things, that he did not propose to burden the doctor with the details of his genealogy.
