"If walls could speak... If they could tell us what they know, what they have seen and heard. If they could tell us about the human comedy that played out there, the tears that flowed, the laughs that broke out, the springtime, the gusts of wind, the scent of drying laundry, the lovers full of hope behind closed doors, the drafts, the slamming doors, the fleeting passions and illusions... If they could tell us all of that.
It’s time to make them speak again, to make these buildings rise up from their rubble, to tear them from the weight of the ground and of the past and let them drift towards new horizons. It’s time to see them trail along once again with all their dreams, their hopes, their stories and their memories."
