“Not to find one's way in a city may well be uninteresting and banal. It requires ignorance — nothing more. But to lose oneself in a city — as one loses oneself in a forest — that calls for quite a different schooling.”

Walter Benjamin

Simplified Meaning:

Getting lost in a city can be boring and just shows you don't know the area. But to really explore and lose yourself in a city, like wandering in a forest, you need to learn and experience a lot more.
