"The Invisibles: I have seen the future, and it is Frisco"
The Invisibles, page 1 - News - Dallas Observer - Dallas Observer
"People, the vast mass of people, will live in more and more generic and mass-produced environments in fewer and fewer truly unique locales, because that's the relentless math of population growth, pollution and politics.."

“Happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder…”
