"Every city has a sound that can be heard in no other, a sound that all those living in the city know well and share like a secret - the metro whistle in Paris, the buzz of motorcycles in Rome, and the strange whir of New York - and Istanbul too has a sound that all its residents know intimately; it is the metallic whine they have been hearing for sixty years whenever a ferry docks at any of the little wooden tire-ringed landing stations." Pamuk em 'The Islands', em Other Colors.
