'The catalyst that converts any physical location - any environment into a place, is the process of experiencing deeply. A place is a piece of the whole environment that has been claimed by feelings.'
- Gussow cited in Larice & MacDonald, 2007, The Urban Design Reader
'People make attachments to places that are critical to their well-being or distress. An individuals sense of place is both a biological response to the surrounding physical environment and a cultural creation.'
- D. Hayden, 1995, The Power of Place: Urban Landscapes as Public History
'The struggle of people against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting.'
- M. Kwint, C. Breward & J. Aynsley, 1999, Material Memories
