Thought for the Day
“In
big cities, beneath the roar of traffic, beneath ‘the rapid pace of change,’ so
many faces pass by unnoticed because they have no ‘right’ to be there, no right
to be part of the city. They are the
foreigners, the children who go without schooling, those deprived of medical
insurance, the homeless, the forgotten elderly.
These people stand at the edges of our great avenues, in our streets, in
deafening anonymity. They become part of an urban landscape that is more and
more taken for granted, in our eyes, and especially in our hearts.”
