Text Quotes
The fact is that automobiles no longer have a place in the big cities of our time  (Cities Quotes) Crime in the cities is very discouraging. Apartment house dwellers have locks, bolts, chains and bars on their doors. It takes a tenant longer to get out than a burglar to get in  (Cities Quotes) I want gaming to be something that everybody does, because they understand that games can be a real solution to problems and a real source of happiness. I want games to be something everybody learns how to design and develop, because they understand that games are a real platform for change and getting things done. And I want families, schools, companies, industries, cities, countries, and the whole world to come together to play them, because we’re finally making games that tackle real dilemmas and improve real lives  (Cities Quotes) From the time we began to build houses and cities, since we invented the wheel, we have not advanced one step toward happiness. We have always been in halves. As long as we invent and progress in mechanical things and not in love, we shall not achieve happiness  (Cities Quotes) In some cities they tear down buildings to save taxes. They might try tearing down some taxes to save buildings  (Cities Quotes) I have not tired of the wilderness; rather I enjoy its beauty and the vagrant life I lead, more keenly all the time. I prefer the saddle to the street car and the star sprinkled sky to a roof, the obscure and difficult trail, leading into the unknown, to any paved highway, and the deep peace of the wild to the discontent bred by cities  (Cities Quotes) The 19th century was a century of empires, the 20th century was a century of nation states. The 21st century will be a century of cities  (Cities Quotes) I have twenty countries in my memory and trail in my soul the colors of one hundred cities  (Cities Quotes) To be young and aware is to know you’re being lied to; to know that a bright green future is possible; to know that we can reimagine the world, rebuild our cities, redesign our lives, retool our factories, distribute innovation and creativity and all live in a world that is not only better than the alternative, but much better than the world we have now  (Cities Quotes) From a business perspective, the question related to cities and sustainability is clear and compelling: can you have a healthy company in an unhealthy city? Arguably, no. Companies need healthy cities to provide reliable infrastructure, an educated and vital workforce, a vibrant economy, and a safe and secure environment to survive and thrive. Business executives have a lot to learn from cities, and a lot to contribute, and this book shows the way, chronicling the successes and the lessons learned about what it takes to make a city healthy, in every sense of the word  (Cities Quotes) I am one of the searchers. There are millions of us. We are not unhappy, but neither are we really content. We continue to explore ourselves, hoping to understand. We are drawn by the ocean, taken by its power, its unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty. We like forests and mountains, deserts and hidden rivers, and lonely cities. Our sadness is as much a part of our lives as is our laughter. To share our sadness with one we love is perhaps as great a joy as we can know  (Cities Quotes) Cities are for people. A city is where people come to work and raise their families and to spend their money and to walk in the evening. It is not a traffic corridor  (Cities Quotes) Yet this is the watch by night. Let us all accept new strength, and real tenderness. And at dawn, armed with glowing patience, we will enter the cities of glory  (Cities Quotes) The one thing that all great cities have in common is that they are all different  (Cities Quotes) Cities force us to interact with strangers and with the strange. They pry the mind open. And that is why they are the idea that has unleashed so many of our new ideas  (Cities Quotes) The freedom to make and remake our cities and ourselves is, I want to argue, one of the most precious yet most neglected of our human rights  (Cities Quotes) Cities are beautiful because they are created slowly; they are made by time. A city is born from a tangle of monuments and infrastructures, culture and market, national history and everyday stories. It takes 500 years to create a city, 50 to create a neighborhood  (Cities Quotes) We urgently need a paradigm shift in our concept of the purposes and practices of education. We need to leave behind the concept of education as a passport to more money and higher status in the future and replace it with a concept of education as an ongoing process that enlists the tremendous energies and creativity of schoolchildren in rebuilding and respiriting our communities and our cities now, in the present  (Cities Quotes) Cities have personalities, just as people do, and that finding the right place to live is akin to finding the right partner to live with  (Cities Quotes) Our armies do not come into your cities and lands as conquerors or enemies, but as liberators  (Cities Quotes) Because there are a lot of big cities in the world, people who live in cities have become more isolated than ever  (Cities Quotes) Going on the road for long stretches can seem daunting, and I certainly miss being home sometimes, but the chance to see so many different cities, let alone perform in them, is something I am really grateful for  (Cities Quotes) What armies and how much of war I have seen, what thousands of marching troops, what fields of slain, what prisons, what hospitals, what ruins, what cities in ashes, what hunger and nakedness, what orphanages, what widowhood, what wrongs and what vengeance  (Cities Quotes) If you plan cities for cars and traffic, you get cars and traffic. If you plan for people and places, you get people and places  (Cities Quotes) True creative cities produce the legacy of an idea that does what funding cannot do: to foster  (Cities Quotes) When civic leaders are in love with their cities they are listened to; they are credible  (Cities Quotes) I see my buildings as pieces of cities, and in my designs I try to make them into responsible and contributing citizens  (Cities Quotes) Urbanization is not about simply increasing the number of urban residents or expanding the area of cities. More importantly, it’s about a complete change from rural to urban style in terms of industry structure, employment, living environment and social security  (Cities Quotes) Landscape planners will have the opportunity to make sculptured roofscapes, so that cities appear to be verdant hills and valleys. Streets will become shady routes carved through the undergrowth. Roofs will become mountain tops. People will become ants  (Cities Quotes) It was one of those somber evenings when the sighing of the wind resembles the moans of a dying man; a storm was brewing, and between the splashes of rain on the windows there was the silence of death. All nature suffers in such moments; the trees writhe in pain and twist their heads; the birds of the fields cower under the bushes; the streets of cities are deserted  (Cities Quotes)
