Greene, Graham (1904-1991)

Our Man in Havana

Exerpt from Our Man in Havana:

"They can print statistics and count the populations in hundreds of thousands, but to each man a city consists of no more than a few streets, a few houses, a few people. Remove those few and a city exists no longer except as a pain in the memory, like the pain of an amputated leg no longer there."
