Life is an art we are required to practice without preparation, a score that we play at sight even before we have mastered our instruments.
Lewis MumfordIf we never met again in our lives I should feel that somehow the whole adventure of existence was justified by my having met you.
Lewis MumfordBefore modern man can gain control over the forces that now threaten his very existence, he must resume possession of himself. This sets the chief mission for the city of the future: that of creating a visible regional and civic structure, designed to make man at home with his deeper self and his larger world, attached to images of human nature and love.
Lewis MumfordThe chief function of the city is to convert power into form, energy into culture, dead matter into the living symbols of art, biological reproduction into social creativity.
