Famous quotes containing the words gothic and/or war:

    I think that cars today are almost the exact equivalent of the great Gothic cathedrals: I mean the supreme creation of an era, conceived with passion by unknown artists, and consumed in image if not in usage by a whole population which appropriates them as a purely magical object.
    Roland Barthes (1915–1980)

    Whoever lights the torch of war in Europe can wish for nothing but chaos.
    Adolf Hitler (1889–1945)
