The chief function of the city is to convert power into form, energy into culture, dead matter into the living symbols of art, biological reproduction into social creativity. Lewis Mumford
Şehrin en baş fonksiyonu gücü şekle, enerjiyi kültüre, çözümsüz sorunu sanatın yaşayan sembollerine, biyolojik üremeyi sosyal yaratıcılığa çevirmektir.
Pope Alexander VI' chief architect. He was an artist and inventor His designs were so technologically advanced that, at the time,they thought he was a heretic,and he was executed.
Pope Alexander VI öndegelen mimarlardandır. Bir ressam ve mucittir. Çizimleri o kadar teknolojik bir şekilde gelişmiştir ki kendi döneminde insanlar kafir olduğunu düşünmüş ve asılmıştı.
Why did Gregor have to be the only one condemned to work for a company where they immediately became highly suspicious at the slightest shortcoming? Were all employees, every one of them, louts, was there not one of them who was faithful and devoted who would go so mad with pangs of conscience that he couldn't get out of bed if he didn't spend at least a couple of hours in the morning on company business? Was it really not enough to let one of the trainees make enquiries - assuming enquiries were even necessary - did the chief clerk have to come himself, and did they have to show the whole, innocent family that this was so suspicious that only the chief clerk could be trusted to have the wisdom to investigate it? And more because these thoughts had made him upset than through any proper decision, he swang himself with all his force out of the bed.
İnsanların en hafif bir kusurda derhal oldukça şüpheli oldukları bir şirket için çalışacak tek hükümlü niçin Gregor olmak zorundaydı?Bütün personel,onlardan herbiri,hödükmüydüler?onlardan sadık olan ve vicdan azabıyla çılgına dönenlere kendini adayan,şirkette sabahleyin hiç olmasa birkaç saat çalışmadan yatağından çıkamayan biri yokmuydu?

- How is that possible? A chief cannot be replaced.
- l can't explain it in any wa |that you would understand.
- Kapandı. Bu sefer jüri olmadan davayı dinlemek için yeni bir yargıç talep edildi.

- This is Pope Alexander VI. Rambaldi was his chief architect. Rambaldi made a habit of hiding his work in ordinary things. The code is hidden in this painting.
- Bu Papa 6. Alexander. Rambaldi onun baş mimarı idi. Rambaldi'nin çalışmalarını sıradan şeylerin arkasına gizlemek gibi bir alışkanlığı vardı. Şifre bu tabloda gizli.
But the chief clerk had turned away as soon as Gregor had started to speak, and, with protruding lips, only stared back at him over his trembling shoulders as he left.
Business chief executive officers and their boards succumb to the pressures of the financial markets and their fears of takeovers and pour out their energies to produce quarterly earnings - at the expense of building their companies for the long term. J. Irwin Miller
