Famous quotes containing the words influence, building and/or design:

    Somewhere along the line of development we discover who we really are, and then we make our real decision for which we are responsible.

    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)

    The limits of prudence: one cannot jump out of a burning building gradually.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    What but design of darkness to appall?—
    If design govern in a thing so small.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
