People Desire

Famous quotes containing the words people and/or desire:

    Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, and people walk over them without realizing it.
    Bible: New Testament, Luke 11:44.

    It is the Late city that first defies the land, contradicts Nature in the lines of its silhouette, denies all Nature. It wants to be something different from and higher than Nature. These high-pitched gables, these Baroque cupolas, spires, and pinnacles, neither are, nor desire to be, related with anything in Nature. And then begins the gigantic megalopolis, the city-as-world, which suffers nothing beside itself and sets about annihilating the country picture.
    Oswald Spengler (1880–1936)
