We are the children of our landscape; it dictates behavior and even thought in the measure to which we are responsive to it.

Another quote from the 1950s

As I sit looking out of a window of the building
I wish I did not have to write the instruction manual on the uses of a new metal.
I look down into the street and see people, each walking with an inner peace,
And envy them-they are so far away from me!
Not one of them has to worry about getting out this manual on schedule.
