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.

It was terrible when a single conversation with someone determined your whole future relationship.

The concept of profit maximization is, in fact, meaningless.

I just really love the cartoon form. I love the plasticity of it.

In investing, just as in baseball, to put runs on the scoreboard, one must watch the playing field, not the scoreboard.
