Famous quotes containing the words architecture of, architecture and/or bengal:

    “Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change, a bridge across our fears of what has never been before.”
    —Audre Lorde (1934–1992)

    “They can do without architecture who have no olives nor wines in the cellar.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “In Bengal to move at all
    Is seldom, if ever, done,
    But mad dogs and Englishmen
    Go out in the midday sun.”
    —Noël Coward (1899–1973)
