50. Time to reflect
Cities are an immens laboratory of trial
and error, failure and success, in building
and city design. (Jane Jacobs)

51. Deyr fé
deyja frændr
deyr sjálfr it sama
en orðstírr
deyr aldregi
hveim er sér góðan getr
Cattle die,
kinsmen die,
the self dies likewise;
but the renown
for the one who gets good fame
dies never.
from 13th century poem: Havamal
