Architects of grandeur are often the master builders of disillusionment. Bryant H. McGill Architecture
The principle of the Gothic architecture is infinity made imaginable. Samuel Taylor Coleridge Architecture

Prose is architecture, not interior decoration, and the Baroque is over. Ernest Hemingway Architecture
The problem of architecture has always been the same throughout time. Its authentic quality is reached through its proportions, and the proportions cost nothing. In fact, most of them are proportions among things, not the things themselves. Art is almost always a question of proportions. Ludwig Mies van der Rohe Architecture
It is impossible, as impossible as to raise the dead, to restore anything that has ever been great or beautiful in architecture. That which I have insisted upon as the life of the whole, that spirit which is given only by the hand and eye of the workman, can never be recalled. John Ruskin Architecture
I don't really get into architecture in the hotel room. But maybe a little Feng Shui here and there. Drew Barrymore Architecture

The substance of fictional architecture is not bricks and mortar but evanescent consciousness. John Updike Architecture
Maybe we can show government how to operate better as a result of better architecture. Eventually, I think Chicago will be the most beautiful great city left in the world. Frank Lloyd Wright Architecture
Noble life demands a noble architecture for noble uses of noble men. Lack of culture means what it has always meant: ignoble civilization and therefore imminent downfall. Frank Lloyd Wright Architecture
Switzerland is a small, steep country, much more up and down than sideways, and is all stuck over with large brown hotels built on the cuckoo clock style of architecture. Ernest Hemingway Architecture
Organic architecture seeks superior sense of use and a finer sense of comfort, expressed in organic simplicity. Frank Lloyd Wright Architecture
People wouldn't know this about me, but I adore ball gowns. I love their cut, their architecture and the thought of the hands of so many seamstresses working on them. Patti Smith Architecture
Architecture is always the will of the age conceived as space - nothing else. Until this simple truth is clearly recognized, the struggle over the foundation of a new architecture confident in its aims and powerful in its impact cannot be realized; until then, it is destined to remain a chaos of uncoordinated forces. Ludwig Mies van der Rohe Architecture
All architecture has a public nature, I believe, so I would like to make a public space. Tadao Ando Architecture
