A Quote by James Howard Kunstler

One of the problems with the fiasco of suburbia is that it destroyed our understanding of the distinction between the country and the town, between the urban and the rural. They're not the same thing.

Inequality is not just an issue between individuals, between classes, between regions. It's between urban and rural.

Michael Ignatieff

We are neither anti-urban nor pro-rural. We know there is a gap between urban and rural areas; we are only trying to bridge it.

H. D. Kumaraswamy

Politics is based on social identity, and so, again, there is going to be differences between rural and urban and between left and right.

David Brooks

Divides between north and south, towns and cities, between urban and rural areas, cause people to experience a gulf in quality of life and future prospects.

Nicky Morgan

I grew up in a little town between Bath and Bristol with my parents and grandparents in the same house. It was rural and idyllic.

Bill Bailey

There's a difference between a failure and a fiasco... a fiasco is a disaster of mythic proportions.

Orlando Bloom

For years I have told my students that I been trying to train executives rather than clerks. The distinction between the two is parallel to the distinction previously made between understanding and knowledge. It is a mighty low executive who cannot hire several people with command of more knowledge than he has himself.

Carroll Quigley

I make no distinction between the mind and the spirit, and therefore no distinction between the process of achieving spiritual growth and achieving mental growth. They are one and the same.

M. Scott Peck

The premature migration of very large numbers of people from rural areas to urban areas can give rise to a lot of strains to the urban infrastructure, which can also create problems of crime - law-and-order problems.

Manmohan Singh

If you look at sort of how politics has divided itself here in this country, the big divide right now is between urban areas, which have become increasingly Democratic, and rural or exurban areas that feel as if they're being ignored.

Barack Obama

Globalization is exposing new fault lines - between urban and rural communities, for example.

Ban Ki-moon

The distinction between the world of commerce and that of "culture" quickly became the distinction between infrastructure and superstructure, with the former clearly determining the latter.

Allan Bloom

In my experience with print journalists, the distinction between remarks being uttered on- or off-the-record is held sacrosanct, but the distinction between truth and falsity sometimes isn't.

Sam Harris

A surreal and ultimately disgusting facet of the Iraq fiasco is the lag between when a fact becomes obvious and when the fiasco's architects acknowledge that fact.

George Will

I am a citizen of a country that has just undergone a thieved election, a country deeply and dangerously divided between rich and poor, but also between rich and middle class. What I believe in and what my government represents are not the same thing.

Adrienne Rich

If there's one thing I feel very strongly about, it's that there shouldn't be a distinction between pianists who play Ligeti and those who play Chopin. It might seem that they involve different skill sets, but I don't think that's true: whether playing Ives or Bach or Beethoven, you must bring the same imagination, the same sensitivity, and an ability to deal with same kinds of musical problems. The method behind my madness, anyway, is to keep plugging away at this idea.
