Danh ngôn của James Howard Kunstler
Human settlements are like living organisms. They must grow, and they will change. But we can decide on the nature of that growth - on the quality and the character of it - and where it ought to go. We don't have to scatter the building blocks of our civic life all over the countryside, destroying our towns and ruining farmland.

Các khu định cư của con người giống như các sinh vật sống. Họ phải phát triển và họ sẽ thay đổi. Nhưng chúng ta có thể quyết định về bản chất của sự tăng trưởng đó - về chất lượng và tính chất của nó - và nó sẽ đi đến đâu. Chúng ta không cần phải phân tán các nền tảng của đời sống công dân ra khắp vùng nông thôn, phá hủy các thị trấn và hủy hoại đất nông nghiệp.

- To feel much for others and little for ourselves; to restrain our selfishness and exercise our benevolent affections, constitute the perfection of human nature.
