| Lewis Mumford
A certain amount of opposition is a great help to a man. Kites rise against, not with, the wind. A day spent without the sight or sound of beauty, the contemplation of mystery, or the search of truth or perfection is a poverty-stricken day; and a succession of such days is fatal to human life. Every new baby is a blind desperate vote for survival: people who find themselves unable to register an effective political protest against extermination do so by a biological act. New York is the perfect model of a city, not the model of a perfect city. Restore human legs as a means of travel. Pedestrians rely on food for fuel and need no special parking facilities. The way people in democracies think of the government as something different from themselves is a real handicap. And, of course, sometimes the government confirms their opinion. War is the supreme drama of a completely mechanized society. |
