"I have a special soft spot for dark quarters in unknown towns; These disorderly streets are strange vestiges of an unregulated world of the senses, where impulses continue to discharge themselves brutally and without rein; they are a gloomy forest of the passions; they stimulate by what they disclose, and allure by the suggestion of what they hide. They haunt our dreams."

- Stefan Zweig, Moonbeam Alley (via violentwavesofemotion)
