There are natures that go to the streams of life in great cities as the hart goes to the water brooks.  ~Philip G. Hamerton


All cities are mad:  but the madness is gallant.  All cities are beautiful:  but the beauty is grim.  ~Christopher Morley


Divine Nature gave the fields, human art built the cities.  ~Marcus Terentius Varro


The roaring street is hung for miles With fierce electric fire.

Don’t blow it – good planets are hard to find. ~Quoted in Time

I think the environment should be put in the category of our national security. Defense of our resources is just as important as defense abroad. Otherwise what is there to defend? ~Robert Redford, Yosemite National Park dedication, 1985

Your grandchildren will likely find it incredible – or even sinful – that you burned up a gallon of gasoline to fetch a pack of cigarettes! ~Paul MacCready, Jr.

Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.  ~Twyla Tharp


The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life.  ~William Faulkner


As the sun colors flowers, so does art color life.  ~John Lubbock


I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way – things I had no words for.  ~Georgia O’Keeffe
