Famous quotes containing the words examples of, examples, contemporary, modern and/or architecture:

    It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    This socialism will develop in all its phases until it reaches its own extremes and absurdities. Then once again a cry of denial will break from the titanic chest of the revolutionary minority and again a mortal struggle will begin, in which socialism will play the role of contemporary conservatism and will be overwhelmed in the subsequent revolution, as yet unknown to us.
    Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)

    We Irish, born into that ancient sect
    But thrown upon this filthy modern tide
    And by its formless spawning fury wrecked,
    Climb to our proper dark, that we may trace
    The lineaments of a plummet-measured face.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Art is a jealous mistress, and, if a man have a genius for painting, poetry, music, architecture or philosophy, he makes a bad husband and an ill provider.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
