“Whatever events in progress shall disgust men with cities, and infuse into them the passion for country life, and country pleasures, will render a service to the whole face of this continent, and will further the most poetic of all the occupations of real life, the bringing out by art the native but hidden graces of the landscape.”

“[Buckminster] Fuller's idea of progress is a very 1950s organization man out of the military sort of idea of progress.
