Text Quotes
Permaculture is a design system for creating sustainable human environments... Permaculture uses the inherent qualities of plants and animals combined with the natural characteristics of landscapes and structures to produce a life supporting system for city and country, using the smallest practical area (City Quotes)
A farm regulated to production of raw commodities is not a farm at all. It is a temporary blip until the land is used up, the water polluted, the neighbors nauseated, and the air unbreathable. The farmhouse, the concrete, the machinery, and outbuildings become relics of a bygone vibrancy when another family farm moves to the city financial centers for relief (City Quotes)
I like a walking culture; I need to be in a city where you can walk everywhere (City Quotes)
I’m fed up with democracy. In a democracy, people vote for the mayors. I wanted to build a city where I will choose the citizens (City Quotes)
More than its utilitarian and technocratic transparency, it is the opaque ambivalence of its oddities that makes the city livable (City Quotes)
If you could find a major city that actually had a functioning, good public school system, you should buy all the real estate (City Quotes)
In the city, a lot of crime happens, a lot of violence happens from time to time (City Quotes)
Solitude in the city is about the lack of other people or rather their distance beyond a door or wall, but in remote places it isn’t an absence but the presence of something else, a kind of humming silence in which solitude seems as natural to your species as to any other, words strange rocks you may or may not turn over (City Quotes)
It is an experiment worth trying to be alone and to be quiet for a brief period every day. Under city conditions it may be difficult to carry out, but most of us could do it if we tried. At any rate, we should moderate the pace at which we are living. If we remain at high gear, at top pressure, we are bound to suffer from fatigue and strain (City Quotes)
I have always thought that if the city cannot come to the country, than the country must come to the city (City Quotes)
The war won’t be over until the last spammer’s head is stuck onto a spear at the city limits (City Quotes)
Love is a heavenly quality that is given to prepare men to enjoy the heavenly city more (City Quotes)
Something amazing happens when the rest of the world is sleeping. I am glued to my chair. I forget that I ever wanted to do anything but write. The crowded city, the crowded apartment, and the crowded calendar suddenly seem spacious. Three or four hours pass in a moment; I have no idea what time it is, because I never check the clock. If I chose to listen, I could hear the swish of taxis bound for downtown bars or the soft saxophone riffs that drift from a neighbor’s window, but nothing gets through. I am suspended in a sensory deprivation tank, and the very lack of sensation is delicious (City Quotes)
It would be great to give back to this city and its youth brigade important lessons that will help them become future champions. I look forward to this opportunity (City Quotes)
There is little in the architecture of a city that is more beautifully designed than a tree (City Quotes)
A struggle for existence is not a decent living. A man or woman or child may die of starvation in a city teeming with plenty. Only human life is concerned (City Quotes)
Perhaps when the light of heaven shows us clearly the pitfalls and dangers of the earth road that led to the heavenly city, our sweetest songs of gratitude will be not for the troubles we have conquered, but for those we have escaped (City Quotes)
I went walking around the city some more, people watching with a cold, blank stare. And I saw your face in everyone, I swear (City Quotes)
One can say that the city itself is the collective memory of its people, and like memory it is associated with objects and places. The city is the locus of the collective memory (City Quotes)
It seems to me that whether it is recognized or not, there is a terrific frustration which increases in intensity and harmfulness as time goes on, when people are always daydreaming of the kind of place in which they would like to live, yet never making the place where they do live into anything artistically satisfying to them. Always to dream of a cottage by a brook while never doing anything to the stuffy house in the city is to waste creativity in this very basic area, and to hinder future creativity by not allowing it to grow and develop through use (City Quotes)
Paris is not a city I should care to approach for the first time after I had passed forty (City Quotes)
Don’t feel you have to stick to plans, because something better might come up; and try to blend in, because you see more. I’ve learnt that the principles of moving around a big city are the same everywhere; only the people and streets are different (City Quotes)
Plan the town, if you like; but in doing it do not forget that you have got to spread the people. Make wider roads, but do not narrow the tenements behind. Dignify the city by all means, but not at the expense of the health of the home and the family life and the comfort of the average workman and citizen (City Quotes)
Pittsburgh isn’t fancy, but it is real. It’s a working town and money doesn’t come easy. I feel as much a part of this city as the cobblestone streets and the steel mills, people in this town expect an honest day’s work, and I’ve it to them for a long, long time (City Quotes)
Nice is a city of ghosts and specters, but I hope not to become one of them right away (City Quotes)
I’ve spent my life capturing beautiful images. And whether in wilderness or in the downtown of a giant city, I find connections, universal rhythms, patterns and beauty that I recognize as a part of me, a part of all of us that celebrates life. It’s my great pleasure to share with you that energy which inspires me; this great visual beauty of our world (City Quotes)
The lack of resources is no longer an excuse not to act. The idea that action should only be taken after all the answers and the resources have been found is a sure recipe for paralysis. The planning of a city is a process that allows for corrections; it is supremely arrogant to believe that planning can be done only after every possible variable has been controlled (City Quotes)
There is no endeavor more noble than the attempt to achieve a collective dream. When a city accepts as a mandate its quality of life, when it respects the people who live in it, when it respects the environment, when it prepares for future generations, the people share the responsibility for that mandate. This shared cause is the only way to achieve that collective dream (City Quotes)
The secret to the city is integration. Every area of the city should combine work, leisure and culture. Separate these functions and parts of the city die (City Quotes)
I never learned how to tune a harp, or play upon a lute; but I know how to raise a small and obscure city to glory and greatness... whereto all kindreds of the earth will pilgrim (City Quotes)
