Famous quotes containing the words instruction, set and/or architecture:
“A little instruction in the elements of chartographya little practice in the use of the compass and the spirit level, a topographical map of the town common, an excursion with a road mapwould have given me a fat round earth in place of my paper ghost.”
—Mary Antin (18811949)
“But beauty is set apart,
beauty is cast by the sea,
a barren rock,
beauty is set about
with wrecks of ships....”
—Hilda Doolittle (18861961)
“Polarized light showed the secret architecture of bodies; and when the second-sight of the mind is opened, now one color or form or gesture, and now another, has a pungency, as if a more interior ray had been emitted, disclosing its deep holdings in the frame of things.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
