A day spent without the sight or sound of beauty, the contemplation of
mystery, or the search of truth or perfection is a poverty-stricken day;
and a succession of such days is fatal to human life.
Adding highway lanes to deal with traffic congestion is like loosening your belt to cure obesity.
Restore human legs as a means of travel. Pedestrians rely on food for fuel and need no special parking facilities.
The artist has a special task and duty; the task of reminding men of their humanity and the promise of their creativity.
Nothing is unthinkable, nothing impossible to the balanced person,
provided it comes out of the needs of life and is dedicated to life's
further development.
Quotes by Lewis Mumford
