Brick Building

Famous quotes containing the words brick and/or building:

    They dropped separately after the celebration,
    handpicked,
    one after the other like artichoke leaves.
    After that I walked to my car awkwardly
    over the painful bare remains on the brick sidewalk....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    I love art, and I love history, but it is living art and living history that I love.... It is in the interest of living art and living history that I oppose so-called restoration. What history can there be in a building bedaubed with ornament, which cannot at the best be anything but a hopeless and lifeless imitation of the hope and vigour of the earlier world?
    William Morris (1834–1896)
