What attracts people most, it would appear, is other people.

Nonconformity is an empty goal, and rebellion against prevailing opinion merely because it is prevailing should no more be praised than acquiescence to it. Indeed, it is often a mask for cowardice, and few are more pathetic than those who flaunt outer differences to expiate their inner surrender.

People do not always argue because they misunderstand one another, they argue because they hold different goals.

Trees are contagious; as soon as one neighborhood or street is planted, citizen pressure builds up for action from the next street.

If you want to seed a place with activity, the first thing to do is to put out food.

The street is the river of life of the city, the place where we come together, the pathway to the center.

People very rarely think in groups; they talk together, they exchange information, they adjudicate, they make compromises. But they do not think; they do not create.
