Renaissance Center Tower

Famous quotes containing the words renaissance, center and/or tower:

    People nowadays like to be together not in the old-fashioned way of, say, mingling on the piazza of an Italian Renaissance city, but, instead, huddled together in traffic jams, bus queues, on escalators and so on. It’s a new kind of togetherness which may seem totally alien, but it’s the togetherness of modern technology.
    —J.G. (James Graham)

    It is written in the Book of Usable Minutes
    That all things have their center in their dying....
