New Ideas Must Use Old Buildings

Some Men Tend To Cling To Old Intellectual Excitements, Just As Some Belles, When They Are Old Ladies, Still Cling To The Fashions And Coiffures Of Their Exciting Youth.

Erosion Of Cities Or Attrition Of Automobiles?

There Is A Quality Even Meaner Than Outright Ugliness Or Disorder, And This Meaner Quality Is The Dishonest Mask Of Pretended Order, Achieved By Ignoring Or Suppressing The Real Order That Is Struggling To Exist And To Be Served.

I Basically Don't Think That The Way We Do Things Is That Dependent On One Resource, Such As Oil. There Can Be Different Kinds Of Engines For Cars. I Think That Solar Heating, Wind Heating Can Substitute For A Lot Of Uses For Oil. I'd Like To See Those Things Happen Because They Are More Sustainable In Any Case. But I Do Not Think That Running Out Of Oil Is Not Going To Bother Us That Much. I Think We Have Got To Be Rescued By Something Or We Really Are Going Down A Slippery Slope.

There Is No Logic That Can Be Superimposed On The City; People Make It, And It Is To Them, Not Buildings, That We Must Fit Our Plans.
