Famous quotes containing the words gothic and/or building:
“The Gothic cathedral is a blossoming in stone subdued by the insatiable demand of harmony in man.”

“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)
