“Whenever any American's life is taken by another American unnecessarily - whether it is done in the name of the law or in the defiance of the law, by one man or a gang, in cold blood or in passion, in an attack of violence or in response to violence - whenever we tear at the fabric of the life which another man has painfully and clumsily woven for himself and his children, the whole nation is degraded.” MenChildrenDoneWholeLawLife IsPassionNamesNationsTakenViolenceBloodTearsColdResponseOne ManFabricGangAnother ManDefianceWoven Author:Robert Kennedy
“Actively we have woven ourselves with the very warp and woof of this nation, - we have fought their battles, shared their sorrow, mingled our blood with theirs, and generation after generation have pleaded with a headstrong, careless people to despise not Justice, Mercy and Truth, lest the nation be smitten with a curse. Our song, our toil, our cheer and warning have been given to this nation in blood-brotherhood. Are not these gifts worth the giving? Is not this worth the striving? Would America have been America without her Negro People?” PeopleGivingHas BeensAmericaSongGivenNationsJusticeGenerationsBloodSorrowBattleMercyStriveAfrican AmericanCurseCheerWarningBrotherhoodDespiseToilCarelessWovenWarpSmittenHeadstrong Author:W.

“Each hamlet or village or town should be a place, its own place. This is not a matter of fake historicism or artsy-craftsy architecture. It is a matter of respect for things existing, subtle patterns of place woven from vistas and street widths and the siting and color and scale of stores, houses, and trees... If the countryside is to prosper, it must be different from city or suburb... The difference is in part the simple business of containing our towns and giving them boundaries.” IfsGivingShouldDifferentMatterHouseDifferencesSimpleCitiesTreeStreetsLandColorTownsPatternsStoresArchitectureScalesBoundariesFakeSubtleVillageWovenSuburbsCountrysideContainingVistasOur TownWidth Author:Robert Christopher Riley
