Jane Jacobs

Jane Jacobs, The Death and Life of Great American Cities

Simone Weil
“To be rooted is perhaps the most important and least recognized need of the human soul.”
Simone Weil

Donna Tartt
“Does such a thing as 'the fatal flaw,' that showy dark crack running down the middle of a life, exist outside literature? I used to think it didn't. Now I think it does. And I think that mine is this: a morbid longing for the picturesque at all costs.”

Joe Sacco
“What becomes of someone who thinks he has all the power... and what becomes of someone who believes he has none?”
Joe Sacco, Palestine

Milton Friedman

Milton Friedman
