I'm addicted to self-improvement. The thing is, there's so damn much about myself to improve.

Cities have the capability of providing something for everybody, only because, and only when, they are created by everybody.

Streets and their sidewalks-the main public places of a city-are its most vital organs.

Designing a dream city is easy; rebuilding a living one takes imagination.

There is no logic that can be superimposed on the city; people make it, and it is to them, not buildings, that we must fit our plans.

Intricate minglings of different uses in cities are not a form of chaos. On the contrary, they represent a complex and highly developed form of order.

While you are looking, you might as well also listen, linger and think about what you see.

The ballet of the good city sidewalk never repeats itself from place to place, and in any one place is always replete with new improvisations.

This is something everyone knows: A well-used city street is apt to be a safe street. A deserted city street is apt to be unsafe.

People must take a modicum of public responsibility for each other even if they have no ties to each other.

This is what a city is, bits and pieces that supplement each other and support each other.

Loving someone who does not love you back is like, reaching for a star. You know you will never reach it but you just have to keep on trying. Because someday, who knows? It might fall.

Two places in this world make it impossible for a man to escape from himself: a battlefield and a prison cell.

Courage, I now see, is a journey involving self-doubt and self-examination, with the end never in sight.

How can we salute - encourage the American spirit? That means many different things to many different people.

Always maintain a joyful mind. Appreciate the struggles as opportunities to wake up.

It (Lewinskygate) has...compromised his moral authority

I find, even though it's raining, I just go outside. I look outside and I'm just so blessed to see it and to experience it, because for such a long time I was just indoors.

Making money never was my incentive. I just want to fight big companies.

It was a mixed bag pretty much all week. A lot of really, really good stuff out there, some mediocre and some bad.

I do believe I am special. My special gift is my vision, my commitment, and my willingness to do whatever it takes.
