Tom  Turner
“Landscape design theory has been rotting away, peacefully, like a garden temple, since the close of the eighteenth century.”
Tom Turner, City as Landscape

Terry Pratchett
“Many great landacape gardeners have gone down in history and been remembered in a very solid way by the magnificent parks and gardens that they designed with almost god-like power and foresight, thinking nothing of making lakes and shifting hills and planting woodlands to enable future generations to appreciate the sublime beauty of wild Nature transformed by Man. There had been Capability Brown, Sagacity Smith, Intuition De Vere Slade-Gore...

In Ank-Morpork, there was Bloody Stupid Johnson.”
Terry Pratchett, Men at Arms
