I wanted solitude, but a treasure like that didn't exist in the city. I only found silence in Central Park, still littered with people of course, but the only place that held moments of calm. I breathed in that wonderful silence as my pace finally slowed, and nature delighted my senses. Lee Matthew Goldberg
About This Quote

As we grow older we realize that we need to take our time and search for the perfect spot to do what we want. We live in a busy and fast paced world and we forget that it is important to take a break and smell the roses. The city is filled with noise and hurry, but once you step out of the city you will find peace, stillness and tranquility. People often compare cities to deserts or jungles, but during vacations or short trips like this one, you will find peace in the middle of the city.
