Famous quotes containing the word architects:

    “All architects want to live beyond their deaths.”
    —Philip Johnson (b. 1906)

    “All are architects of Fate,
    Working in these walls of Time;
    Some with massive deeds and great,
    Some with ornaments of rhyme.”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    “Perchance the time will come when every house even will have not only its sleeping-rooms, and dining-room, and talking-room or parlor, but its thinking-room also, and the architects will put it into their plans. Let it be furnished and ornamented with whatever conduces to serious and creative thought. I should not object to the holy water, or any other simple symbol, if it were consecrated by the imagination of the worshipers.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
