Typical Dark Sky

Famous quotes containing the words typical, dark and/or sky:

“A building is akin to dogma; it is insolent, like dogma. Whether or no it is permanent, it claims permanence, like a dogma. People ask why we have no typical architecture of the modern world, like impressionism in painting. Surely it is obviously because we have not enough dogmas; we cannot bear to see anything in the sky that is solid and enduring, anything in the sky that does not change like the clouds of the sky.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

“The eye doesn’t see any shapes, it sees only what is differentiated through light and dark or through colors.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

“The sky is silent too,
Hard as granite and as fixed as fate.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
