Famous quotes containing the words american and/or architecture:

“I’ve always wondered why European politicians as a group seemed brighter than American politicians as a group. Maybe it’s because many American politicians have the race issue to fall back on. They become lazy, suspicious of innovative ideas, and as a result American institutions atrophy.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)

“All architecture is great architecture after sunset; perhaps architecture is really a nocturnal art, like the art of fireworks.”
