Today barbarism has taken over many city streets, or people fear it has, which comes to much the same thing in the end.

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.

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.

Better a fearful end than fear without end.

It was my family that wanted me to be a teacher. That was safe, you see. To be a painter was terrible.

Sending money to Washington to have it administered and sent back is like getting a blood transfusion from your right arm to your left arm with a leaky valve.

I believe everyone who breathes air on this earth, regardless of their job or their bank account, must give back more than just carbon dioxide.

It makes you realize that people are the same wherever you go.

I have to say that flying on Air Force One sort of spoils you for coach on a regular airline.

Theres something so grabbing about people who will do anything for one another.

Hungry Hatred, will not strive against intelligence self-interest.
