Tall Buildings

Famous quotes containing the words tall and/or buildings:

    The small sleek one wants to stop,
    docile to the imploring soul of the trashbasket,
    but the young tall curly one
    wants to walk on; the glistening sidewalk
    entices him to arcane happenings.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    The desert is a natural extension of the inner silence of the body. If humanity’s language, technology, and buildings are an extension of its constructive faculties, the desert alone is an extension of its capacity for absence, the ideal schema of humanity’s disappearance.
    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
