Lowly, unpurposeful and random as they may appear, sidewalk contacts are the small change from which a city's wealth of public life may grow.

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.

I saw The Twilight Zone for the first time when I was 12 or 13. I used to stay up late to watch.

You are worth more than harming yourself

No woman can become or remain degraded without all women suffering.
