Lewis Jacobs

Famous quotes containing the words lewis and/or jacobs:

    Move then with new desires,
    For where we used to build and love
    Is no man’s land, and only ghosts can live
    Between two fires.
    —Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)

    What if we fail to stop the erosion of cities by automobiles?... In that case America will hardly need to ponder a mystery that has troubled men for millennia: What is the purpose of life? For us, the answer will be clear, established and for all practical purposes indisputable: The purpose of life is to produce and consume automobiles.
    —Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
