Unity, like so many good things, is good only in moderation.

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.

I've had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened.

Children see beauty in everything.

....there is a difference between hearing and listening. You can't always help what you hear. But you can control what holds your interest, what you choose to dwell on.

I've shut myself inside these walls, and I'm going to be a very lonely old lady if I'm not careful.

I just don't see very many films. Because I make them.

I need a Stetson, so I can ride you like a cowgirl" - Mercy to Riley

Ah, my sister used to hit me harder.

I've made a lot of people a lot of money, and I've made a lot of people really happy. I've entertained millions and millions of people.
