Quotes

  • “The society which scorns excellence in plumbing as a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy: neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water.”
  • “More and more Americans feel threatened by runaway technology, by large-scale organization, by overcrowding. More and more Americans are appalled by the ravages of industrial progress, by the defacement of nature, by man-made ugliness. If our society continues at its present rate to become less livable as it becomes more affluent, we promise all to end up in sumptuous misery.”
  • “Life is the art of drawing without an eraser.”
  • “History never looks like history when you are living through it. It always looks confusing and messy, and it always feels uncomfortable.”
  • “We have to face the fact that most men and women out there are more stale than they know, more bored than they care to admit.”
