• The notion - and I tell you this one even worries me that it extends into New Urbanism - the notion of the shopping center [as] a valid kind of downtown. That's taken over.

• Vivía en Monterey, un lugar al que los fotógrafos clásicos -los Weston, Wynn Bullock y Ansel Adams- acudían para disfrutar de una vista privilegiada de la naturaleza. Pero mi vida cotidiana rara vez me llevaba a Point Lobos o a Yosemite; me llevaba a los centros comerciales, y a las gasolineras y a todos los demás crecimientos insalubres que florecían junto a la autopista. Era un paisaje que a nadie más le interesaba contemplar. Aparte de mí.

• El hecho más importante de nuestros centros comerciales, a diferencia de los centros comerciales ordinarios a los que vamos a por nuestros víveres, es que no necesitamos la mayor parte de lo que venden, ni siquiera para nuestro placer o entretenimiento, ni siquiera para tener una sensación de lujo. Poco en ellos es esencial para nuestra supervivencia, nuestro trabajo o nuestro juego, y lo mismo ocurre con las boutiques que se multiplican en nuestras calles.
