The permanence of certain urban artifacts gives them the quality of monuments.

I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock hem up DOES rejoice. Still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend.

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.

True leadership means making tough decisions today that will benefit generations tomorrow.
