• You can't really succeed with a novel anyway; they're too big. It's like city planning. You can't plan a perfect city because there's too much going on that you can't take into account. You can, however, write a perfect sentence now and then. I have.

• When people condemn me for designing iconic buildings in cities and not having an idea what a city is, they haven't done their homework. I started in urban design and city planning. It's just that when I got out of school there wasn't much of a market for that. There still isn't.

• The peoples of the old world have their cities built for times gone by, when railroads and gunpowder were unknown. We can have cities for the new age that has come, adopted to its better conditions of use and ornament. We want, therefore, a city planning profession.

• El estadio es la estrella. En la era de Tris Speaker y Babe Ruth, la era de Jimmie Foxx y Ted Williams, a través de la época de los asientos vacíos de Don Buddin y Willie Tasby y hasta las décadas de Carl Yastrzemski y Jim Rice, el estadio es la estrella. Fenway Park funciona como una alocada violación de los principios de planificación urbanística, un montón de arquitectura irregular, una amenaza para los consultores de marketing. Funciona como símbolo del orgullo de Nueva Inglaterra, como depósito de esperanzas eternas, como tabernáculo de la inocencia perdida. Funciona como lugar para ver béisbol.
