By the age of 70, he who doesn’t read will have lived only one life. He who reads will have lived 5,000 years. Reading is immortality backwards.

— Umberto Eco

A successful city is an entity that is endlessly reconfiguring itself, changing its social structure and meaning, even if its contours don’t look very different. And when it does take on dramatic new forms, the measure of success is the degree to which it maintains its essence.

- Deyan Sudjic, The Language of Cities

Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.

W.B. Yeats

Teaching is the highest form of understanding.

Aristotle
