Famous quotes containing the words tallest and/or buildings:

    “But not the tallest there, ‘tis said,
    Could fathom to this pond’s black bed.”
    —Edmund Blunden (1896–1974)

    “If the factory people outside the colleges live under the discipline of narrow means, the people inside live under almost every other kind of discipline except that of narrow means—from the fruity austerities of learning, through the iron rations of English gentlemanhood, down to the modest disadvantages of occupying cold stone buildings without central heating and having to cross two or three quadrangles to take a bath.”
    —Margaret Halsey (b. 1910)
