Backward cities, or younger cities, or newly forming cities in supply regions, have to develop to a great extent on one another's shoulders. This is one of the terrible things about empires.

I think that things are going to change just because people get too damn bored with what they have.

The notion that you could discard the old world and now make a new one. This is what was so bad about Modernism.

While you are looking, you might as well also listen, linger and think about what you see.

There is no new world that you make without the old world.
