  Kowloon Walled City | A population density nightmare
  
  Kowloon Walled City was a largely ungoverned Chinese settlement in Kowloon, Hong Kong, comprising of 350 interconnected high-rise buildings where 33,000 residents lived within a plot measuring just 210 meter by 120 meter. Originally a Chinese military fort, the Walled City became an enclave after the New Territories were leased to Britain in 1898. Its population increased dramatically following the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong during World War II and reached a peak of 33,000 residents in 1987. When it was demolished in 1993-94, it was thought to be the most densely populated place on earth.

  How the Chinese and the Greeks viewed (pretty much) the same sky.

  It’s pretty remarkable how differently two cultures can connect the same dots, don’t you think?

  Movie script of 'Anonymous' (2011)

  1. OXFORD: I enjoyed your little comedy last week, Jonson. You have potential, great potential.
  2. JONSON: Thank you, my lord.
  3. OXFORD: But it's politics did seem to have quite an effect on the Tower. My father-in-law's men felt it quite seditious.
  4. JONSON: Politics? My play had nothing to do with politics! It was just a simple comedy.
  5. OXFORD: That showed your betters as fools who go through life barely managing to get food from plate to mouth, were it not for the cleverness of their servants. All art is political, Jonson. Otherwise it would just be decoration. And all artists have something to say, otherwise... they'd make shoes. And you're not a cobbler, are you, Jonson?

  (PARIS, TEXAS) directed by Wim Wenders
  These two people. They were in love with each other. The girl was… very young, about seventeen or eighteen, I guess. And the guy was… quite a bit older. He was kind of ragged in, wild. She was very beautiful. And together they turned everything into a kind of an adventure, and she liked that. Just an ordinary trip down the grocery store was… full of adventure…

  Movie script of 'The Game'(1997).

  1. Maria: Invitations: the Museum Gala.
  2. Nicholas: No.
  3. Maria: The Fitzwilliam Botanical Garden annual fundraiser.
  4. Nicholas: No.
  5. Maria: The Hinchberger wedding.
  6. Nicholas: Let me think... (sits back, eyes closed) Hordes of men in tuxedos. Everyone's droning. Ludwell's trying to break the ice by reciting an off-color limerick...
  7. Maria: (impatient) I'll send your regrets. Honestly, why must I even bother?
  8. Nicholas: Because, if you don't know about society, you don't have the satisfaction of avoiding it.
