Arab Quote by Zaha Hadid

“I miss aspects of being in the Arab world - the language - and there is a tranquility in these cities with great rivers. Whether it's Cairo or Baghdad, you sit there and you think, 'This river has flown here for thousands of years.' There are magical moments in these places.” quote by Zaha Hadid — Download Open image
