Quote by Emma Jane Unsworth

“Big cities comforted me: the cover, the chaos, the hollow sympathy of the architecture, the Tube lines snaking underground. London could swallow you up, in a good way. There were times when I'd been broken and being subsumed into a city had made me feel part of a whole again.”

Here no one needs to deceive himself. Here no one needs to forget.”
