Famous quotes containing the word architecture:

    “All architecture is great architecture after sunset; perhaps architecture is really a nocturnal art, like the art of fireworks.”
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    “Defaced ruins of architecture and statuary, like the wrinkles of decrepitude of a once beautiful woman, only make one regret that one did not see them when they were enchanting.”
    —Horace Walpole (1717–1797)

    “For it is not metres, but a metre-making argument, that makes a poem,—a thought so passionate and alive, that, like the spirit of a plant or an animal, it has an architecture of its own, and adorns nature with a new thing.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
