Architecture
Ah, to build, to build! That is the noblest art of all the arts. Painting and sculpture are but images, are merely shadows cast by outward things on stone or canvas, having in themselves no separate existence. Architecture, existing in itself, and not in seeming a something it is not, surpasses them as substance shadow.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) U.S. poet.
Light, God's eldest daughter, is a principal beauty in a building.
Thomas Fuller (1608-1661) British clergyman and author.
All fine architectural values are human values, else not valuable.
Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) American architect.
No person who is not a great sculptor or painter can be an architect. If he is not a sculptor or painter, he can only be a builder.
John Ruskin (1819-1900) English art critic.
Believe me, that was a happy age, before the days of architects, before the days of builders.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 BC-65) Roman philosopher and playwright.
A structure becomes architectural, and not sculptural, when its elements no longer have their justification in nature.
Guillaume Apollinaire (1880-1918) French poet, writer and art critic.
Architect. One who drafts a plan of your house, and plans a draft of your money.
Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914) American newspaperman and short-story writer.
