Famous quotes containing the words claimed and/or districts:
“Bit by bit ... she had claimed herself. Freeing yourself was one thing; claiming ownership of that freed self was another.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
“Cities need old buildings so badly it is probably impossible for vigorous streets and districts to grow without them.... for really new ideas of any kind—no matter how ultimately profitable or otherwise successful some of them might prove to be—there is no leeway for such chancy trial, error and experimentation in the high-overhead economy of new construction. Old ideas can sometimes use new buildings. New ideas must use old buildings.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
