Famous quotes containing the words growing, enterprise and/or architecture:
“Life—that is: continually shedding something that wants to die. Life—that is: being cruel and inexorable against everything about us that is growing old and weak—and not only about us. Life—that is, then: being without reverence for those who are dying, who are wretched, who are ancient? Constantly being a murderer?—And yet old Moses said: “Thou shalt not kill.””
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“What recommends commerce to me is its enterprise and bravery.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It seems a fantastic paradox, but it is nevertheless a most important truth, that no architecture can be truly noble which is not imperfect.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
