Robert A. Caro Quote
But when I began researching Robert Moses’ expressway-building, and kept reading, in textbook after textbook, some version of the phrase the human cost of highways with never a detailed examination of what the human cost truly consisted of or of how it stacked up against the benefits of highways, I found myself simply unable to go forward to the next chapter. I felt I just had to try to show—to make readers not only see but understand and feel—what human cost meant.
