Famous quotes containing the word architecture:

    “For it is not metres, but a metre-making argument, that makes a poem,—a thought so passionate and alive, that, like the spirit of a plant or an animal, it has an architecture of its own, and adorns nature with a new thing.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Art is a jealous mistress, and if a man have a genius for painting, poetry, music, architecture or philosophy, he makes a bad husband and an ill provider, and should be wise in season and not fetter himself with duties which will embitter his days and spoil him for his proper work.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “All architecture is great architecture after sunset; perhaps architecture is really a nocturnal art, like the art of fireworks.”
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
