Famous quotes containing the word architects:

    “All are architects of Fate,
    Working in these walls of Time;
    Some with massive deeds and great,
    Some with ornaments of rhyme.”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    “All architects want to live beyond their deaths.”
    —Philip Johnson (b. 1906)

    “A great proportion of architectural ornaments are literally hollow, and a September gale would strip them off, like borrowed plumes, without injury to the substantials.... What if an equal ado were made about the ornaments of style in literature, and the architects of our bibles spent as much time about their cornices as the architects of our churches do? So are made the belles-lettres and the beaux-arts and their professors.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
