Famous quotes containing the words weber and/or city:
“No sociologist ... should think himself too good, even in his old age, to make tens of thousands of quite trivial computations in his head and perhaps for months at a time. One cannot with impunity try to transfer this task entirely to mechanical assistants if one wishes to figure something, even though the final result is often small indeed.”
—Max Weber (1864–1920)
“Commuters give the city its tidal restlessness; natives give it solidity and continuity; but the settlers give it passion.”
—E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
