Architecture
is the art of how to waste space.
-- Philip Johnson
1906-, American Architect and
Theorist
I don't think
of form as a kind of architecture. The architecture is the
result of the forming. It is the kinesthetic and visual
sense of position and wholeness that puts the thing into the
realm of art.
-- Roy Lichtenstein
1923, American Artist
Ah, to build,
to build! That is the noblest art of all the arts. Painting
and sculpture are but images, are merely shadows cast by
outward things on stone or canvas, having in themselves no
separate existence. Architecture, existing in itself, and
not in seeming a something it is not, surpasses them as
substance shadow.
-- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
1819-1892, American Poet
Nor aught
availed him now to have built in heaven high towers; nor did
he scrape by all his engines, but was headlong sent with his
industrious crew to build in hell.
-- John Milton
1608-1674, British Poet
