Lviv is a city you cannot run or escape from. Each and every time you come back, you once again experience the most sweet bliss and the remorse of a prodigal. If you wish to be ecstatically happy, as one poet writes, come back to Lviv by all means, as - whatever you may feel, say or do - away from Lviv you will have a deep and ongoing feeling of an aching void and forsakennes in this world, even if Lviv is not your native city.

This is because anyone can appreciate the particular non-physical inner warmth radiated by the seemingly cold stone walls and cobblestones.

Anyone can experience how this city is always striving to make a man stronger, awakening in him all the best offered to him by God.
