You can lose your way groping among the shadows of the past. It's frightening how many people and things there are in a man's past that have stopped moving.

As we grow older, we no longer know whom to awaken, the living or the dead.
An unfamiliar city is a fine thing. That's the time and place when you can suppose that all the people you meet are nice. It's dream time.
