Building Permits

Famous quotes containing the words building and/or permits:

“I love art, and I love history, but it is living art and living history that I love.... It is in the interest of living art and living history that I oppose so-called restoration. What history can there be in a building bedaubed with ornament, which cannot at the best be anything but a hopeless and lifeless imitation of the hope and vigour of the earlier world?”
—William Morris (1834–1896)

“It is a medium of entertainment which permits millions of people to listen to the same joke at the same time, and yet remain lonesome.”
