Robert Christopher Riley quotes:

In the 1920's it was legs. My God, women hadn't shown their legs for 2000 years.

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.

You can eat an elephant if you do it one bite at a time.
