Famous quotes containing the words instruction, set and/or architecture:
“I have come to believe ... that the stage may do more than teach, that much of our current moral instruction will not endure the test of being cast into a lifelike mold, and when presented in dramatic form will reveal itself as platitudinous and effete. That which may have sounded like righteous teaching when it was remote and wordy will be challenged afresh when it is obliged to simulate life itself.”
—Jane Addams (1860–1935)
“But at the coming of the King of Heaven
All’s set at six and seven:
We wallow in our sin;
Christ cannot finde a chamber in the inn.”
—Unknown. Yet if His Majesty, Our Sovereign Lord (l. 25–28)
“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)
