Early Skyscrapers

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or skyscrapers:

    “Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.
    Lawrence Kutner (20th century)

    Chicago—is—oh well a façade of skyscrapers facing a lake, and behind the façade every type of dubiousness.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
