Filip Drapal, spokesman for Prague transport company Ropid, on possible "singles only" train carriages:

We want to emphasize that public transport is not only a means of travel but that you can do things there that you cannot do in your car.

Rolf Potts:

Travel anywhere is often a matter of exploring half-understood desires. Sometimes, those desires lead you in new and wonderful directions; other times, you wind up trying to understand just what it was you desired in the first place. And, as often as not, you find yourself playing the role of charlatan as you explore the hazy frontier between where you are, who you are, and who it is you might want to be.

Penelope Trunk:

If you can see where you'll be, you're already there. If you know for sure where you are going then you are actually living someone else's version of a path.

Are you scared? Are you a person who makes emotional space in your life to be routinely surprised?

Megan Garber:

Space is becoming ordinary. And that means it's about to get really interesting.

Geoff Manaugh:

It all comes down to ground conditions -- to the interruption, even the complete disappearance, of the ground plane, of firm terrestrial reference, of terra firma, of the Earth, of the very planet we think we stand on. Whether presented under the guise of the earthquake or of warfare or even of General Relativity, Lebbeus's work was constantly erasing the very surfaces we stood on -- or, perhaps more accurately, he was always revealing that those dependable footholds we thought we had were never there to begin with. That we inhabit mobile terrain, a universe free of fixed points, devoid of gravity or centrality or even the ability to be trusted.

Architecture is more than buildings. It is a spacesuit.

Architecture is about the lack of stability and how to address it. Architecture is about the void and how to cross it. Architecture is about inhospitability and how to live within it.
