Famous quotes containing the words architecture and, architecture, stained, glass and/or windows:

    “The two elements the traveler first captures in the big city are extrahuman architecture and furious rhythm. Geometry and anguish. At first glance, the rhythm may be confused with gaiety, but when you look more closely at the mechanism of social life and the painful slavery of both men and machines, you see that it is nothing but a kind of typical, empty anguish that makes even crime and gangs forgivable means of escape.”
    —Federico García Lorca (1898–1936)

    “They can do without architecture who have no olives nor wines in the cellar.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “And like a little beast,
    Dappled and without horns,
    That scampered on the hill-rocks,
    They will leave you
    With stained throat”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “I must sojourn once to the ballot-box before I die. I hear the ballot-box is a beautiful glass globe, so you can see all the votes as they go in. Now, the first time I vote I’ll see if the woman’s vote looks any different from the rest—if it makes any stir or commotion. If it don’t inside, it need not outside.”
    —Sojourner Truth (c. 1797–1883)

    “In winter we lead a more inward life. Our hearts are warm and cheery, like cottages under drifts, whose windows and doors are half concealed, but from whose chimneys the smoke cheerfully ascends.... We enjoy now, not an Oriental, but a Boreal leisure, around warm stoves and fireplaces, and watch the shadow of motes in the sunbeams.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
