"Old buildings are not ours. They belong, partly to those who build them, and partly to the generations of mankind who are to follow us. The dead still have their right to them: That which they labored for... we have no right to obliterate. What we ourselves have built, we are at liberty to throw down. But what other men gave their strength, and wealth and life to accomplish, their right over it does not pass away with their death."
- JOHN RUSKIN (From the foreword of "THE BUILDING" By Will Eisner)

"Green space does more than 'pretty up' the neighbourhood - it appears to have real effects on health inequality, of a kind that politicians and health authorities should take seriously."
-Dr.TERRY HARTIG from the institute for Housing and Urban Reasearch at Uppsala Ubiversity in Sweden (On a study published in the Lancet that found green areas can reduce the health gap between rich and poor).
