Famous quotes containing the words buildings, part, rockefeller and/or center:

    “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)

    “Learning first occurs as a part of emotional interactions; it involves the split-second initiatives that children take as they try to engage other people, interact with them, communicate and reason with them.”
    —Stanley I. Greenspan (20th century)

    “No matter what your fight, don’t be ladylike! God Almighty made women and the Rockefeller gang of thieves made the ladies.”
    —Mother Jones (1830–1930)

    “Actually being married seemed so crowded with unspoken rules and odd secrets and unfathomable responsibilities that it had no more occurred to her to imagine being married herself than it had to imagine driving a motorcycle or having a job. She had, however, thought about being a bride, which had more to do with being the center of attention and looking inexplicably, temporarily beautiful than it did with sharing a double bed with someone with hairy legs and a drawer full of boxer shorts.”
    —Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
