By now most of you know I'm a huge quote fan, along with my sister blogger, Cloudia, at Comfort Spiral great minds think alike, right? My post today is about a topic that inspires me, referring to people being like cities. I'm posting to City Daily Photo.
"So, we must conclude that madness is sometimes a question of time, and sometimes of postcode." Matt Haig
"Anyone who says that only sunshine brings happiness, has never danced in the rain."
Are People Like Cities?
"It's amazing how well you can get to know a person if you actually pay attention. People are like cities: We all have alleys and gardens and secret rooftops and places where daisies sprout between the sidewalk cracks, but most of the time all we let each other see is a postcard glimpse of a floodlit statue or a skyline."
Wild Awake quote by Hilary T. Smith
"A person was like a city. You couldn't let a few less desirable parts put you off the whole. There may be bits you don't like, a few dodgy side streets and suburbs, but the good stuff makes it worthwhile."
Matt Haig, The Midnight Library
"Spring has sprung. So, here's my question. When will your outside cafe be open?
"As I pedal down the street, the city blocks peel away like pages in a book I'm rifling through to find a single, highlighted sentence."
Hilary T. Smith
Sometimes, no I'm betting most moments of your day, should be spent like this.
"We just have to close our eyes and savor the taste of the drink in front of us and listen to the song as it plays. We are as completely and utterly alive as we are in any other life and have access to the same emotional spectrum."
Matt Haig
"Not just another rainy day. Don't just look around you but look deep within."
"It was interesting, she mused to herself, how life sometimes simply gave you a whole new perspective by waiting around long enough for you to see it."
Matt Haig
Experience. Stuff. Enjoy life like a box of delicious chocolates.
Trying them, one by one.
"Be humble because you are made of earth. Be noble, for you are made of stars."
Serbian proverb

What a fascinating perspective. Thank you.
So wonderful to see your comment here and read your Sunday post you’ve been in my thoughts and missed you but your poem excellent by the way ties everything up neatly in so many ways! Take care.
Hooray for you and me and quotes!!
Hello Karen
I do enjoy your quotes and photos. You and Cloudia share inspiring words.
May joy and happiness follow you too!
Take care, enjoy your day!
...I enjoy quotes too, you have some wonderful ones!
Interesting perspective. A thought-provoking post. And some cities are like cockroaches, you just can't kill 'em. They just keep on living despite all the awful stuff thrown their way. And, if we are lucky, they eventually rise up and prosper phoenix like.
A delightful post combining beautiful captures with lovely quotes!
An interesting idea. I always enjoy your posts!
Wonderful shots!
I want to be known as a forest or a desert and not a city! Is that you under the St. Louis arch? THat's an incredible sight, especially from the top.
