Famous quotes containing the words historic and/or buildings:

    “It is, all in all, a historic error to believe that the master makes the school; the students make it!”
    —Robert Musil (1880–1942)

    “The desert is a natural extension of the inner silence of the body. If humanity’s language, technology, and buildings are an extension of its constructive faculties, the desert alone is an extension of its capacity for absence, the ideal schema of humanity’s disappearance.”
    —Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
