“We are all proprietary toward cities we love. 'Ah, you should have seen her when I loved her!' we say, reciting glories since faded or defiled, trusting her to no one else; that others should know and love her in her present fallen state (for she must fall without our vigilant love) is a species of betrayal.” KnowsShouldStatesFallLove IsCitiesGloryShould HaveAnd LoveSpeciesBetrayalFallenFadedVigilantReciting Book:Italian Days Source: Italian Days

“You gotta constantly purify yourself, living in the city, around human beings. There might be people close to you who affect you inside yourself in such a corrupt way that it screws with your ability to do what you do. But if you make sure that the people who are close you are good people who are there for you and love you, you can create your temple everywhere you go.” PeopleIfsWayHumansMightHuman BeingsAbilityCitiesLove YouAnd LoveTemplesGood PeopleScrewsBeing ThereLiving In The City Author:John Frusciante

“Before modern man can gain control over the forces that now threaten his very existence, he must resume possession of himself.

“When I see brokenness, poverty and crime in inner cities, I also see the enormous potential and readiness for transformation and rebirth. We are creating an art form that comes from the heart and reflects the pain and sorrow of people's lives. It also expresses joy, beauty, and love. This process lays the foundation of building a genuine community in which people are reconnected with their families, sustained by meaningful work, nurtured by the care of each other and will together raise and educate their children. Then we witness social change in action.” PeopleHeartChildrenArtCareActionPainTogetherFormJoySocialProcessCommunityCitiesFamilyPovertySadnessCrimeBuildingEmotionalSorrowCreatingAnd LoveTransformationRaisesFoundationLaysMeaningfulGenuineEnormousWitnessEducateSocial ChangeRebirthReadinessBrokennessInner CityMeaningful WorkPain And SorrowBeauty And Love Author:Lily Yeh
“There are many ways to love someone. Sometimes we want love so much, we're not too choosy about who we love. Other times, we make love such a pure and noble thing, no poor human can ever meet our vision. But for the most part, love is a recognition, an opportunity to say, "There is something about you I cherish." It doesn't entail marriage, or even physical love. There's love of parents, love of city or nation, love of life, and love of people. All different, all love.” PeopleWayWantLoveHumansDifferentSometimesDreamOpportunityNationsParentLove IsPoorCitiesVisionPureAnd LoveNobleRecognitionLove LifeCherishMaking LoveLife And LoveLove SomeoneParents LoveChoosy Author:Raymond E.
