Famous quotes containing the word structure:

    “Who says that fictions only and false hair
    Become a verse? Is there in truth no beauty?
    Is all good structure in a winding stair?
    May no lines pass, except they do their duty
    Not to a true, but painted chair?”
    —George Herbert (1593–1633)

    “A structure becomes architectural, and not sculptural, when its elements no longer have their justification in nature.”
    —Guillaume Apollinaire (1880–1918)

    “A special feature of the structure of our book is the monstrous but perfectly organic part that eavesdropping plays in it.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
