Famous quotes containing the words building and/or stories:

    The Times are the masquerade of the eternities; trivial to the dull, tokens of noble and majestic agents to the wise; the receptacle in which the Past leaves its history; the quarry out of which the genius of today is building up the Future.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    All my stories are webs of style and none seems at first blush to contain much kinetic matter.... For me “style” is matter.
