"Trying to plan for the future without a sense of the past is like trying to plant cut flowers." Daniel Boorstin, historian
"...architecture is for everyone, and there's enough to go around if we'll only learn to take care of it. We can't write it all down on convenient lists that we can carry in our pockets, but it's all around you wherever you go. Go out and keep your eyes open. Enjoy every bit of it whether it's on somebody's list or not. And, above all, guard it." Elizabeth Mills Brown (1916-2008), author of New Haven: A Guide to Architecture and Urban Design 1976
