Planning cities is a necessary but risky business.

I think we have to notice that the business processes we use right now for thinking and planning and budgeting and strategy are all delivered on very tight agendas.

Any time women come together with a collective intention it's a powerful thing. Whether it's sitting down making a quilt in a kitchen preparing a meal in a club reading the same book or around the table playing cards or planning a birthday party when women come together with a collective intention magic happens.

No matter how good you are at planning the pressure never goes away. So I don't fight it. I feed off it. I turn pressure into motivation to do my best.

Thinking well to be wise: planning well wiser: doing well wisest and best of all.

I am neither frustrated nor planning anything other than being the best Secretary of State I could be.

There is no planning. On the night it is really great it's euphoria and if it is not so great there is always tomorrow night. That was his attitude.

My personal view is that such total planning by the state is an absolute good and not simply a relative good... I do not myself think of the attitude I take as deriving from Marx - though this undoubtedly will be suggested - but from Fichte and Hegel.

At the University of Maryland my first year I started off planning to major in art because I was interested in theatre design stage design or television design.

I feel however that we architects have a special duty and mission... (to contribute) to the socio-cultural development of architecture and urban planning.
