Famous quotes containing the word architecture:

    “They can do without architecture who have no olives nor wines in the cellar.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “I don’t think of form as a kind of architecture. The architecture is the result of the forming. It is the kinesthetic and visual sense of position and wholeness that puts the thing into the realm of art.”
    —Roy Lichtenstein (b. 1923)

    “Polarized light showed the secret architecture of bodies; and when the second-sight of the mind is opened, now one color or form or gesture, and now another, has a pungency, as if a more interior ray had been emitted, disclosing its deep holdings in the frame of things.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
