 Our national flower is the concrete cloverleaf.

 Restore human legs as a means of travel. Pedestrians rely on food for fuel and need no special parking facilities.

 Sport in the sense of a mass-spectacle, with death to add to the underlying excitement, comes into existence when a population has been drilled and regimented and depressed to such an extent that it needs at least a vicarious participation in difficult feats of strength or skill or heroism in order to sustain its waning life-sense.

 The artist does not illustrate science (but) he frequently responds to the same interests that a scientist does

 The chief function of the city is to convert power into form, energy into culture, dead matter into the living symbols of art, biological reproduction into social creativity.

 The cities and mansions that people dream of are those in which they finally live.

 The city is a fact in nature, like a cave, a run of mackerel or an ant-heap. But it is also a conscious work of art, and it holds within its communal framework many simpler and more personal forms of art. Mind takes form in the city; and in turn, urban forms condition mind.

 The cycle of the machine is now coming to an end.

 The vast material displacements the machine has made in our physical environment are perhaps in the long run less important than its spiritual contributions to our culture.

 The way people in democracies think of the government as something different from themselves is a real handicap. And, of course, sometimes the government confirms their opinion.

 To curb the machine and limit art to handicraft is a denial of opportunity

 Today, the degradation of the inner life is symbolized by the fact that the only place sacred from interruption is the private toilet.

 Today, the notion of progress in a single line without goal or limit seems perhaps the most parochial notion of a very parochial century.
