Famous quotes containing the words internal and/or structure:

    I have been amazed by the Anglo-Saxon’s lack of curiosity about the internal lives and emotions of the Negroes, and for that matter, any non-Anglo-Saxon peoples within our borders, above the class of unskilled labor.
    Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)

    A structure becomes architectural, and not sculptural, when its elements no longer have their justification in nature.
