Significance
Despite the initial revulsion of residents, Sutro Tower is now mostly tolerated by locals and figures in local art, TV, and movies as one of the architectural symbols of the city. A local entertainment guide, SFStation.com, uses it as its logo, as well as the collaborative art game, SF0.org, and the upcoming Expose SF Art Competition.

Famous quotes containing the word significance:
“The hysterical find too much significance in things. The depressed find too little.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“The hypothesis I wish to advance is that ... the language of morality is in ... grave disorder.... What we possess, if this is true, are the fragments of a conceptual scheme, parts of which now lack those contexts from which their significance derived. We possess indeed simulacra of morality, we continue to use many of the key expressions. But we have—very largely if not entirely—lost our comprehension, both theoretical and practical, of morality.”
—Alasdair Chalmers MacIntyre (b. 1929)
“History is the interpretation of the significance that the past has for us.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
