Famous quotes containing the words art and/or architecture:
“Propaganda is that branch of the art of lying which consists in nearly deceiving your friends without quite deceiving your enemies.”
—F.M. Cornford (1874–1943)
“And when his hours are numbered, and the world
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.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
