Apartment Building

Famous quotes containing the words apartment and/or building:

    Should not every apartment in which man dwells be lofty enough to create some obscurity overhead, where flickering shadows may play at evening about the rafters?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The artist must be an egotist because, like the spider, he draws all his building material from his own breast. But just the same the artist alone among men knows what true humility means. His reach forever exceeds his grasp. He can never be satisfied with his work. He knows when he has done well, but he knows he has never attained his dream. He knows he never can.
    Rheta Childe Dorr (1866–1948)
