Famous quotes containing the words urban and/or impact:

    “The city is a fact in nature, like a cave, a run of mackerel or an ant-heap. But it is also a conscious work of art, and it holds within its communal framework many simpler and more personal forms of art. Mind takes form in the city; and in turn, urban forms condition mind.”

    “Conquest is the missionary of valour, and the hard impact of military virtues beats meanness out of the world.”
    —Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
