"deserves credit for his courageous advocacy of the of Ohio, probably more than for his contributions to literature: his trade monthly, published from 1854 t0 1861, Cozzens' Wine Press, is a neglected classic which provides a charming insight into the amenities of the table in a society which devoted considerable care to that department."

"American capitalism of 1830 to 1860 was a riot of extravagance. Hundreds of those who glistened in New York and Boston in the 1840's are forgotten. A few families—, —managed to maintain continuity, but they were few. The number who went down to ruin invited a chronicler equal to Dickens."

"The recent obituaries of gave a measure of tribute to his engineering innovations at . It was undoubtedly he who conceived of tracks, bridges and buildings all in a single structural entity; the double-deck track fan to save space and the loop connection to circulate the trains. It was he who worked out all the details with the first official architects, , but to these winners of the competion for the new station goes the credit for the device for looping on "exterior circumferential elevated driveways" instead of through the centre of the station athwart the concourse as Wilgus had suggested."

"It was who spurred the design of , bringing from Chicago to plan his last great triumph in the late 1920s."

"The garden has always been subject to two main influences—the outer influence from the and the inner from the house."

"Named to the Yale faculty in 1945 as assistant professor of , he eventually became director of Yale's graduate course in |city planning when it was initiated in 1950 and which he directed for the next decade. In 1962 he became professor of city planning and in 1965 he was named chairman of the department. In September 1969, as the result of a major reorganization of Yale's School of Art and Architecture, which split the school into two divisions, Professor Tunnard was appointed director of studies in planning, and remained in that post until his retirement in 1975."

"The military wasn’t equipped to deal with people’s demand for information about their beloved pups."

"Where my beasts of their own wrong without my will and knowledge break into another’s close, I shall be punished, for I am the trespasser with my beasts.” —Anonymous case during the reign of Henry VII"

"It may seem preposterous today to hold a robot morally accountable for its actions, but there are already glimpses of this in how we talk about robot-caused harm—in ways that risk assigning them more agency than appropriate."

"I sometimes think that, in the desperate straits of humanity today, we would be grateful to have nonhuman friends, even if they are only the friends we build ourselves." —Isaac Asimov, Robot Visions"

"Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat, is a powerful illumination of how we really behave toward animals."

"Maybe any entity significantly smarter than a human being would be crippled by existential despair."

"Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.” —Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy"

"The machine like the djinnee, which can learn and can make decisions on the basis of its learning, will in no way be obliged to make such decisions as we should have made, or will be acceptable to us.” —Norbert Wiener, mathematician and philosopher"

"While there may be similarities here and there, my child doesn’t sense, act, or learn the way a machine does."

"Instead of having to reason about everybody, your car only has to reason about its five neighbors, I can make the system very large, but each individual’s reasoning space remains constant. That’s a traditional notion of scalable —the amount of processing per vehicle stays constant, but we’re allowed to increase the size of the system.”"

"When you think of an ant, there is not a concentrated set of neurons there,referring to the ant’s 20-microgram brain. “Instead, there is a huge amount of awareness in the body itself. I may wonder how an ant solves a problem, but I have to realize that somehow having a physical body full of sensors makes that easier. We do not really understand how to think about that still.”"

"It’s almost like each individual fish acts like a distributed sensor. Instead of me doing all the work, somebody on the left can say, ‘Hey, I saw something.’ When the group divides the labor so that some of us look out for predators while the rest of us eat, it costs less in terms of energy and resources"

"“As far as we know, there isn’t a blueprint or an a priori distribution between who’s doing the building and who is not. We know the queen does not set the agenda,” . “These colonies start with hundreds of termites and expand their structure as they grow.”"

"I got excited about how nature makes these complicated, distributed, mobile networks. Those multi-robot systems became a new direction of my research."

"James is the one that got me into robot swarms by introducing me to all the things that ant and termite colonies do,” Nagpal said. “I got excited about how nature makes these complicated, distributed, mobile networks. James was developing that used similar principles to move around and work together. Those multi-robot systems became a new direction of my research."

"“I have no idea how that works, “I mean, how do you create systems that are so adaptive?”"

"It’s almost like each individual fish acts like a distributed sensor, Instead of me doing all the work, somebody on the left can say, ‘Hey, I saw something.’ When the group divides the labor so that some of us look out for predators while the rest of us eat, it costs less in terms of energy and resources than trying to eat and look out for predators all by yourself."

"“Maybe we could do what Amazon is doing, but do it outside, We could have swarms of robots that actually do some sort of practical task. At Amazon, that task is delivery. But given Boston’s snowstorms, I think shoveling the sidewalks would be nice."

"The reef was super healthy and colorful, like being in a National Geographic television show,” . “As soon as I put my face in the water, this whole swarm of fish came towards me and then swerved to the right.."

"“What’s really interesting about large insect colonies and fish schools is that they do really complicated things in a decentralized way, whereas people have a tendency to build hierarchies as soon as we have to work together, “There is a cost to that, and if we try to do that with that with robots, we replicate the whole management structure and cost of a hierarchy.”"

"The other factor is that Amazon’s robots do a mix of centralized and decentralized decision-making, The robots plan their own paths, but they also use the cloud to know more. That lets us ask: Is it better to know everything about all your neighbors all the time? Or is it better to only know about the neighbors that are closer to you?”"

"There are few others [like Amazon] with hundreds of robots moving around safely in a facility space. And the opportunity to work on algorithms in a deployed system was very exciting."
