“You can neither lie to a neighbourhood park, nor reason with it. 'Artist's conceptions' and persuasive renderings can put pictures of life into proposed neighbourhood parks or park malls, and verbal rationalizations can conjure up users who ought to appreciate them, but in real life only diverse surroundings have the practical power of inducing a natural, continuing flow of life and use.”
― Jane Jacobs, The Death and Life of Great American Cities

“A professional is one who does his best work when he feels the least like working.”
― Frank Lloyd Wright

“Because you believed I was capable of behaving decently, I did.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Devil and Miss Prym

“The tragedy of feminine design is that it receives so little official support.

Yet many designers who are male in the biological sense have a feminine approach to design.”
― Tom Turner, City as Landscape
