“A new social type was being created by the apartment building, a cool, unemotional personality impervious to the psychological pressures of high-rise life, with minimal needs for privacy, who thrived like an advanced species of machine in the neutral atmosphere.

― J.G. Ballard, High-Rise

“The point is that the pleasures of spring are available to everybody, and cost nothing.”
