Matching Quote
"The heart of Paris is like nothing so much as the unending interior of a house. Buildings become furniture,
courtyards
become carpets and arrases, the streets are like galleries, the boulevards conservatories. It is a house, one or two centuries old, rich, bourgeois, distinguished. The only way of going out, or shutting the door behind you, is to leave the centre."
-John Berger
