Relief Centers

Famous quotes containing the words relief and/or centers:

“It certainly must have been a relief for the women of the country to realize that one could be a woman and a lady and yet be thoroughly political.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)

“But look what we have built ... low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace.... Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums.... Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
