Lefebvre

"In the 1970's, somebody asked Lefebvre if in fact he was really an anarchist. "No," he replied. "I'm a Marxist, of course, so that one day we can all become anarchists."

Barnes on Harvey on Harvey

"David Harvey (1972:323) once said in reply to Stephen Gale (1972), who was reviewing Explanation in Geography (Harvey 1969), that he was at a ‘‘disadvantage’’ because he had ‘‘never read it’’ and further- more he had ‘‘no intention of doing so now.’’"
