"You don’t start with what you cannot do. You start with what you can do, if the doing has worthwhile advantages. Then if you can, you evolve improvements on that foundation. This is the commonsense approach to all creative endeavours of any difficulty. Indeed, it amounts to virtually a law of development, whether we are thinking of the way things are successfully developed by human beings or of the way development happens in Nature."
— Jane Jacobs (“Canadian Cities and Sovereignty Association,” Massey Lectures, 1979.)
