John Lindsay Quotations

I try to build the things so that they're fairly indestructible. I've learned from my mistakes and some of those units, even if human life disappears from the planet, will still be recognizable a thousand years from now abandoned somewhere in the woods.

Technology has to be accessible otherwise it enslaves us, and I'm not really in favour of that.

I'm definitely more interested in technologies that are more accessible, that are as accessible as possible.

There's something about the awareness of the limits that makes you tune in more to your surroundings and I've experienced a lot of pleasure or even joy in working with those alternatives and also it's made me so much more aware of just how much work we can make those sources of supply do for us, whether it's electricity or fossil fuels.

New York has total depth in every area. Washington has only politics; after that, the second biggest thing is white marble.

You've got to be happy if they get your facts right. Since January I don't think I've recognized a damned thing that I've filed. I just pour everything out of the boot.

The miniskirt enables young ladies to run faster, and because of it, they may have to.

New York was something like a circus performer walking a tightrope an juggling at the same time....It could barely maintain its position, but an movement would tip the whole balance.
