Famous quotes containing the word architecture:
“They can do without architecture who have no olives nor wines in the cellar.”

Is all his own, retiring, as he were not,
Leaves, when the sun appears, astonished Art
To mimic in slow structures, stone by stone,
Built in an age, the mad wind’s night-work,
The frolic architecture of the snow.”
