Henri Lefebvre

“The dialectic is back, let us rejoice.”

“The everyday is the supreme mystification, the one that contains and conceals all the others.”

“What is the city? It is the ensemble of differences.”

“The right to the city is far more than the individual liberty to access urban resources: it is a right to change ourselves by changing the city.”

“The city is an oeuvre, a work of art.”

“The user's space is lived—not represented (or conceived).”

“(Social) space is a (social) product.”

“To put it another way, the festival is to time what the monument is to space.”

“The production of space is a search for a reconciliation between mental space and real space.”

“Change life! Change society! These ideas lose all their meaning without producing an appropriate space.”

“Space is not a scientific object removed from ideology or politics; it has always been political and strategic.”

“A revolution that does not produce a new space has not realized its full potential.”

“Listen to no one's advice except that of the wind in the trees. That is the best advice I can give.”
