Famous quotes containing the words construction and/or architecture:

    The construction of life is at present in the power of facts far more than convictions.
    Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)

    And when his hours are numbered, and the world
    Is all his own, retiring, as he were not,
    Leaves, when the sun appears, astonished Art
    To mimic in slow structures, stone by stone,
    Built in an age, the mad wind’s night-work,
    The frolic architecture of the snow.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
