“Day-to-day acts of service, whether for good or evil, may not seem important, but they are building cords of love that become so strong they can seldom be broken. Ours is to place our areas of love in proper perspective. Meaningful love always works for our eternal progress and not against it.” MayImportantSeemsEvilStrongProgressBuildingBrokenPerspectiveEternalAreasMeaningfulDay To DayCordsLove AlwaysActs Of Service Author:Marvin J.

“It won't be an issue. The area we're modifying will have more breakout space, but I don't think it exceeds 1,000 feet.

“While a great many other ideas and measures are of prime importance for the good life of the community, that which concerns its architectural expression is the notion of the community as limited in numbers, and in area... To express these relations clearly, to embody them in buildings and roads and gardens in which each individual structure will be subordinated to the whole - this is the end of community planning.” IdeasEndsWholeIndividualCommunityNumbersBuildingExpressionAreasConcernGardenImportanceRelationStructureNotionArchitecturePlanningGreat MenPrimeGood Life Author:Lewis Mumford
“I did a series of classes in psychology (at the institute), .. The students that came to that class had children. And over a period of a few years, they decided they wanted a nursery school, a play group (to watch over their children while they were studying). So in one of the garages that was near where we were having the classes, we established a play group area and the students volunteered to supervise. That eventually led to building a state-licensed nursery school, which was approved by the California department of social welfare.” YearsChildrenStatesPlayWantedSchoolSocialClassWatchesStudyPsychologyGroupsStudentsBuildingPeriodsAreasDecidedSeriesCaliforniaWelfareDepartmentInstituteGarageApprovedNurserySocial WelfareNursery School Author:Dorothy Nolte

“There are areas using what's called the "checkerboard strategy." They are different cities where you can move around the "checkerboard," doing things you can't do in every square, that you can do in some of them, building a mosaic of these kinds of practices. There are about 400 cable television networks, for example, that are publicly owned. That's a big fight for big private companies. In some areas, this is a political struggle, in some it's conventional common sense.” KindDifferentBigsMovingPoliticalFightingCan DoCommonCitiesCompanyPracticeStruggleExampleTelevisionBuildingAreasStrategyCommon SenseSquaresConventionalCablesMosaicsPolitical StruggleCheckerboard Author:Gar Alperovitz
“And if the imam and the Muslim leadership in that community is so intent on building bridges, then they should voluntarily move the mosque away from ground zero and move it whether it's uptown or somewhere else, but move it away from that area, the same as the pope directed the Carmelite nuns to move a convent away from Auschwitz.” IfsShouldMovingCommunityLeadershipBuildingAreasBridgesZeroPopeSomewhere ElseNunMosquesAuschwitzGround ZeroUptownBuilding BridgesMuslim Community Author:Peter King
“Segregations, by which I mean people living in a certain area, was a planned system. It was made that way. And what you have is a system in which people are there to be exploited.

“Especially in urban areas, nobody cares so much [about castes], because you are forced to live in the same buildings. There is so, so little space. You can't be thinking about whether you are living in a street that has only Brahmins, or in a building that has been touched only by Muslims or Christians. You just live there, because that's the only place that you can find. So such distinctions just crumble away. There are people who maintain them, at all costs.

“It is not simply that these two cities are perched side by side at the edge of the Pacific; it is that adolescence sits next to middle age, and they don't know how to relate to each other.
