Famous quotes containing the words gothic and/or churches:

    “I think that cars today are almost the exact equivalent of the great Gothic cathedrals: I mean the supreme creation of an era, conceived with passion by unknown artists, and consumed in image if not in usage by a whole population which appropriates them as a purely magical object.”
    —Roland Barthes (1915–1980)

    “What after all are these churches now if they are not the tombs and sepulchers of God?”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
