Frasi di Lewis Mumford



1/9

Adding highway lanes to deal with traffic congestion is like loosening your belt to cure obesity.

2/9

Architecture is either the prophecy of an unformed society or the tomb of a finished one.

3/9

Restore human legs as a means of travel. Pedestrians rely on food for fuel and need no special parking facilities.

4/9

A certain amount of opposition is a great help to a man. Kites rise against, not with, the wind.

5/9

Every transformation of humanity has rested upon deep stirrings and intuitions, whose rationalized expression takes the form of a new picture of the cosmos and the nature of the human.

6/9

Trend is not destiny.

7/9

A man of courage never needs weapons, but he may need bail.

8/9

Forget the damned motor car and build the cities for lovers and friends.

9/9

A society that gives to one class all the opportunities for leisure, and to another all the burdens of work, dooms both classes to spiritual sterility.
