Famous quotes containing the word gigantic:
“It is the Late city that first defies the land, contradicts Nature in the lines of its silhouette, denies all Nature. It wants to be something different from and higher than Nature. These high-pitched gables, these Baroque cupolas, spires, and pinnacles, neither are, nor desire to be, related with anything in Nature. And then begins the gigantic megalopolis, the city-as-world, which suffers nothing beside itself and sets about annihilating the country picture.”
—Oswald Spengler (1880–1936)
“The gigantic shadows which futurity casts upon the present.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
“There is a gigantic difference between earning a great deal of money and being rich.”
—Marlene Dietrich (1904–1992)
