Famous quotes containing the words man-made and/or structures:

    “No other man-made device since the shields and lances of the ancient knights fulfills a man’s ego like an automobile.”
    —Sir William Rootes (1894–1964)

    “The philosopher believes that the value of his philosophy lies in its totality, in its structure: posterity discovers it in the stones with which he built and with which other structures are subsequently built that are frequently better—and so, in the fact that that structure can be demolished and yet still possess value as material.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
