Famous quotes containing the word architecture:

    “No architecture is so haughty as that which is simple.”
    —John Ruskin (1819–1900)

    “For it is not metres, but a metre-making argument, that makes a poem,—a thought so passionate and alive, that, like the spirit of a plant or an animal, it has an architecture of its own, and adorns nature with a new thing.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “It seems a fantastic paradox, but it is nevertheless a most important truth, that no architecture can be truly noble which is not imperfect.”
    —John Ruskin (1819–1900)
