I am not any hate-America person. I really came here for positive reasons.

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.

It is not of the essence of mathematics to be conversant with the ideas of number and quantity.

Faith is a curious thing. It must be renewed; it has its own spring.

I most certainly can deny it. Of course, if I did, I'd be lying." Mairelon

Ah, thou hast made my heart captive in the endless meshes of thy music, my master!

If you've never experienced the joy of accomplishing more than you can imagine, plant a garden.

Often try what weight you can support, And what your shoulders are too weak to bear.
