Famous quotes containing the word structure:

    “A structure becomes architectural, and not sculptural, when its elements no longer have their justification in nature.”
    —Guillaume Apollinaire (1880–1918)

    “It is difficult even to choose the adjective
    For this blank cold, this sadness without cause.
    The great structure has become a minor house.
    No turban walks across the lessened floors.
    The greenhouse never so badly needed paint.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “With sixty staring me in the face, I have developed inflammation of the sentence structure and definite hardening of the paragraphs.”
    —James Thurber (1894–1961)
