Postcards From Paris

 "Look at the light through that surprising host of steeples, towers, and  belfries; pour forth amid the immense city, break against the points of  its islands, compress within the arches of the bridges, the current of  the Seine, with its large patches of green and yellow, more changeable  than a serpent's skin..."  Victor Hugo, The Hunchback of Notre Dame  

 “Paris. City of love. City of dreams. City of splendour. City of saints and scholars. City of gaiety.  Sink of iniquity."  Edward Rutherford

 “As an artist, a man has no home in Europe save in Paris.”  Friedrich Nietzsche

"Paris is old; many centuries. You feel, in Paris, all the time gone by."  James Baldwin, Giovanni's Room

 “I had forgotten how gently time passes in Paris. As lively as the city  is, there's a stillness to it, a peace that lures you in."  Kristin Hannah, The Nightingale

 “Paris at night is a street show of a hundred moments you might have lived.”  Courtney Maum, I Am Having Too Much Fun Without You
