Famous quotes containing the words man-made and/or structures:

    “No other man-made device since the shields and lances of the ancient knights fulfills a man’s ego like an automobile.”
    —Sir William Rootes (1894–1964)

    “The American who has been confined, in his own country, to the sight of buildings designed after foreign models, is surprised on entering York Minster or St. Peter’s at Rome, by the feeling that these structures are imitations also,—faint copies of an invisible archetype.”
