Backcover:
“Let us leave historical determinism to the
Marxists and other ideologues. The courses of
nations depend upon the energy and the talents
of particular individuals—and upon Providence,
always inscrutable. It remains true even
in this massage of ours that individual genius
and courage—or at least, the imagination and
boldness of a handful of men and women—may
leaven the lump of dullness and apathy, all across
the land. From causes which at present no one
guesses, conceivably there may come about a
reinvigoration of urban planning and
architecture.... The architectural and artistic
charlatan, leagued with the spoilsman and the
bureaucrat, may be thrust aside, abruptly, by a
new breed of architects and artists endowed with
the moral imagination. Given faith and hope, it
is yet imaginable that we may draw upon the
architectural well of the past to bring into being
an architecture strong and humane.”
—Russell Kirk
