                                                        We talk about progress as though it were a natural law, not a public-relations slogan. Change is inevitable; progress is subjective.

                                                        A new philosophy is overdue: the ethics of maintenance. It abandons teleological fantasies – natural or divine – and faces the mess of human construction head-on. Progress isn’t destiny. It’s the myth that keeps us from performing the necessary repair.
