"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 these few and a city exists no longer except as a pain in the memory , like the pain of an amputated leg no longer there."

Quote from Graham Greene's '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 these few and a city exists no longer except as a pain in the memory , like the pain of an amputated leg no longer there."
