Quotation of the Day for August 30, 2016



"It's become clear that we'll have to undo a lot of what was done in the last seventy years. Like the Russians emerging from the Soviet system, we are beginning to emerge from the era of the dominance of the automobile. We've got ingrained patterns and ways of thinking (and not thinking) to deal with, just like they do."

- David Byrne, musician, from his book Bicycle Diaries.
