—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“In short, the building becomes a theatrical demonstration of its functional ideal. In this romanticism, High-Tech architecture is, of course, no different in spirit—if totally different in form—from all the romantic architecture of the past.”

“Exercise is the yuppie version of bulimia.”
