"City life, urban life, living in big cities, in fact, is living in a galaxy of unimportant, random, stupid, absurd images. But your look gives a strange, mysterious meaning to these little details of streets, asphalt or cobblestone roads, advertisements, letters, all the little details of bus stops or chimneys, windows. All these things constitute a texture of a city, and each city in that fashion is very different."
–Orhan Pamuk
