    “The screech and mechanical uproar of the big city turns the citified head, fills citified ears—as the song of birds, wind in the trees, animal cries, or as the voices and songs of his loved ones once filled his heart. He is sidewalk- happy.”
    —Frank Lloyd Wright (1869–1959)

    “To look at the cross-section of any plan of a big city is to look at something like the section of a fibrous tumor.”
    —Frank Lloyd Wright (1869–1959)

    “Panting, begging I clutched childlike, clutched to the hot sides of
    death.
    Now I am dry bones and my face a stony skull staring in yellow
    surprise at the sun. . . .”
    —Richard Wright (1808–1860)
