“To live in a city, one must be larger than one's environment or enjoy belonging to the crowd.”

“A city which belongs to just one man is no true city”

“Living in a big city can be compared to existing in a jungle. One becomes a creature of the environment. The response to the rhythms and choreography is visceral and before long a dweller's conduct is as distinctive as those of a jungle inhabitant.”

“For he who lives more lives than one more deaths than one must die.”

“The Pranksters never talked about synchronicity by name, but they were more and more attuned to the principle. Obviously, according to this principle, man does not have free will. There is no use in his indulging in a lifelong competition to change the structure of the little environment he seems to be trapped in. But one could see the larger pattern and move with it - Go with the flow! - and accept it and rise above one's immediate environment and even alter it by accepting the larger pattern and growing with it.”

“The Church is larger than any one nation or any one political scene.”
