Famous quotes containing the words jacobs, engine and/or company:
“... a family I know ... bought an acre in the country on which to build a house. For many years, while they lacked the money to build, they visited the site regularly and picnicked on a knoll, the site’s most attractive feature. They liked so much to visualize themselves as always there, that when they finally built they put the house on the knoll. But then the knoll was gone. Somehow they had not realized they would destroy it and lose it by supplanting it with themselves.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
“There is a small steam engine in his brain which not only sets the cerebral mass in motion, but keeps the owner in hot water.”

“If it were not for the company of fools, a witty man would often be greatly at a loss.”
