More From Jane Jacobs

Our challenge, our generation's unique challenge, is learning to live peacefully and sustainably in an extraordinarily crowded world. our planet is crowded to an unprecendented degree. it is bursting at the seams. it's bursting at the seams in human terms, in economic terms, and in ecological terms

Remember, there is no situation so completely hopeless that something constructive cannot be done about it. when faced with a minus, ask yourself what you can do to make it a plus. a person practicing this attitude will extract undreamed-of outcomes from the most unpromising situations. realize that there are no hopeless situations; there are only people who take hopeless attitudes.

The ruling passion of the age is to convert wealth into debt in order to derive a permanent future income from it - to convert wealth that perishes into debt that endures, debt that does not rot, costs nothing to maintain, and brings in perennial interest.

Now the father draws us from the evil of sin to the goodness of his grace with the might of his measureless power, and he needs all the resources of his strength in order to convert sinners, more than when he was about to make heaven and earth, which he made with his own power without help from any creature. but when he is about to convert a sinner, he always needs the sinner's help. "he converts thee not without thy help," as st. augustine says.

One of the big mistakes they made in europe is that the circumstances in which you most frequently read or hear the word "race" or "racism" in europe applies to muslims. which is not a race. it is a religion. you can convert to this. you cannot convert your race. i could become a muslim. i could not become a chinese person or a black person. so they constantly use that in europe.

Most people make the mistake of thinking design is what it looks like. people think it's this veneer - that the designers are handed this box and told, 'make it look good!' that's not what we think design is. it's not just what it looks like and feels like. design is how it works.

Lucy, dear child, mind your arithmetic. you know in the first sum of yours i ever saw there was a mistake. you had carried two (as a cab is licensed to do), and you ought, dear lucy, to have carried but one. is this a trifle? what would life be without arithmetic, but a scene of horrors.
