• I think deep down, this planet yearns for the days of the British Empire again. They long once more to be treated that badly, that politely.

Allow me to make it up to you by offering you a job 4,000 miles away. No, no, I insist.

That's why I'm so fascinated with changing the way we build cities, because they are the most developed forms of physical infrastructure for human habitation.
