...Pat wondered what inspiration an artist might find in the attempts of twenty-first-century architects to impose their phallic triumphs on the cityscape. Had any artist ever painted a contemporary glass block, for instance, or any other product of architectural brutalism that had laid its crude hands here and there upon the city?...If a building did not lend itself to being painted, then surely that must be because it was inherently ugly, whatever its claims to utility. And if it was ugly, then what was it doing in this delicately beautiful city? ~ Alexander McCall Smith
Contemporary Architecture quotes by Alexander McCall Smith
It is very difficult to build contemporary architecture in Italy ~ Fabio Novembre
Contemporary Architecture quotes by Fabio Novembre
Schinkel was not arbitrary in his use of historical modes but rather eclectic in the best sense of the word. He could search the past for its conspicuous successes using them both freely and discursively as the basis for a contemporary architecture. ~ Karl Friedrich Schinkel
Contemporary Architecture quotes by Karl Friedrich Schinkel
There are many controversial issues in contemporary American politics where, in spite of my strong feelings, I have the ability to understand and respect the other side. But the notion that we could ever pretend women have real equality in this country when a man as uninformed about basic reproductive gynecology as Mr. Todd Akin could take away my right to decide whether I want to spend a minimum of eighteen years and an average of $235,000 raising a child - not to mention the significant cost to my own dreams and goals or the myriad ways my child might ultimately suffer for my having been denied the ability to make that choice, the ways so many children suffer every day at the hands of their frustrated, stultified mothers - is an absurdity. ~ Meghan Daum
Contemporary Architecture quotes by Meghan Daum
Ultimately our claim to know the one God only gains credence in the contemporary world as he demonstrates the divine presence through the way we live- through our lives as we connect our Christian belief with true Christian living. ~ Stanley J. Grenz
Contemporary Architecture quotes by Stanley J. Grenz
A writer looks at an issue and asks, 'What if this were to occur? Or what if that was thrown into the mix? What would that look like? ~ Venita Ellick
Contemporary Architecture quotes by Venita Ellick
The visible universe is subject to quantification, and is so by necessity. ... Between you and me only reason will be the judge ... since you proceed according to the rational method, so shall I. ... I will also give reason and take it. ... This generation has an innate vice. It can't accept anything that has been discovered by a contemporary! ~ Adelard Of Bath
Contemporary Architecture quotes by Adelard Of Bath
I think that men have no right to profess themselves architects hastily, without having climbed from boyhood the steps of these studies and thus, nursed by the knowledge of many arts and sciences, having reached the heights of the holy ground of architecture. ~ Vitruvius
Contemporary Architecture quotes by Vitruvius
It was his experience that life worked under the same guidelines as a capitalistic society. In order to get what you wanted, it was usually necessary to give up something in return. Sometimes gaining what you defined as everything meant losing what you most needed. ~ Roy L. Pickering Jr.
Contemporary Architecture quotes by Roy L. Pickering Jr.
His height forced her to stand on her toes. For a woman who'd been taller than most of the boys in her class in high school, that particular physical trait provoked a flurry of sensual images to flash through her mind. Sex against a wall. It was a possibility. And given the breadth of his shoulders, she imagined he'd hold her up just fine. Oh, glorious day. ~ Mia Sosa
Contemporary Architecture quotes by Mia Sosa
Necessity first mothered invention. Now invention has little ones of her own, and they look just like grandma. ~ E.B. White
Contemporary Architecture quotes by E.B. White
I love you Bonnie. So much that I hurt with it. And I hate it, and I love it, and I want it to go away, and i want it to stay forever ... ~ Amy Harmon
Contemporary Architecture quotes by Amy Harmon
I once got a little camera to use for details of architecture and so forth but the photo was always so different from the perspective the eye gives, I gave it up. ~ Edward Hopper
Contemporary Architecture quotes by Edward Hopper
Critics often point to historical issues such as slavery, upon which many Christians did act inconsistently, in an effort to invalidate Christian participation in contemporary social issues. ~ H. Wayne House
Contemporary Architecture quotes by H. Wayne House
Less is more, in prose as in architecture. ~ Donald Hall
Contemporary Architecture quotes by Donald Hall
It is not often that I have two options to choose from. It is nice to be compelled towards something, otherwise one drifts through life unimpeded.
Bhanggi ~ Faiqa Mansab
Contemporary Architecture quotes by Faiqa Mansab
When I work, and in my art, I hold hands with God. ~ Robert Mapplethorpe
Contemporary Architecture quotes by Robert Mapplethorpe
Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change, a bridge across our fears of what has never been before. ~ Audre Lorde
Contemporary Architecture quotes by Audre Lorde
The world shown us in books, whether the books be confessed epics or professed gospels, or in codes, or in political orations, or in philosophic systems, is not the main world at all: it is only the self-consciousness of certain abnormal people who have the specific artistic talent and temperament. A serious matter this for you and me, because the man whose consciousness does not correspond to that of the majority is a madman; and the old habit of worshipping madmen is giving way to the new habit of locking them up. And since what we call education and culture is for the most part nothing but the substitution of reading for experience, of literature for life, of the absolete fictitious for the contemporary real, education, as you no doubt observed at Oxford, destroys, by supplantation, every mind that is not strong enough to see through the imposture and to use the great Masters of Arts as what they really are and no more: that is, patentees of highly questionable methods of thinking, and manufacturers of highly questionable, and for the majority but half valid representations of life. The school boy who uses his Homer to throw at his fellow's head makes perhaps the safest and most rational use of him; and I observe with reassurance that you occasionally do the same, in your prime, with your Aristotle. ~ George Bernard Shaw
Contemporary Architecture quotes by George Bernard Shaw
Philip Kitcher has composed the most formidable defense of the secular view of life since Dewey. Unlike almost all of contemporary atheism, Life After Faith is utterly devoid of cartoons and caricatures of religion. It is, instead, a sober and soulful book, an exemplary practice of philosophical reflection. Scrupulous in its argument, elegant in its style, humane in its spirit, it is animated by a stirring aspiration to wisdom. Even as I quarrel with it I admire it. ~ Leon Wieseltier
Contemporary Architecture quotes by Leon Wieseltier
Finn smiled and blew half her brain cells.
"You going to teach me how to have fun, Pru?" he asked in that low, husky voice. ~ Jill Shalvis
Contemporary Architecture quotes by Jill Shalvis
Concern for the environment is a central tent of Islam, yet in contemporary debates over environmental issues there has been virtually no reference made to Islamic teaching ~ Mawil Izzi Dien
Contemporary Architecture quotes by Mawil Izzi Dien
I'm putting a temporary hold on the 'stay away from me' thing,'" she said. "just for a minute while I yell at you, and then we're definitely going right back to it. ~ Jill Shalvis
Contemporary Architecture quotes by Jill Shalvis
The logic of limitless probability ~ Rob Kircher
Contemporary Architecture quotes by Rob Kircher
Like no other writer in contemporary American literature, Brock Clarke has a way of looking at us, I mean looking straight at us
warts, lots of warts, and beauty and hypocrisy and love, too, the gamut. And hes done it again in this brilliant The Happiest People in the World, a novel that is as hilarious and thought-provoking as it is ultimately, deadly, deadly serious. I for one am grateful hes out there
watching our every move. ~ Peter Orner
Contemporary Architecture quotes by Peter Orner
You people and your feelings always spilling out all over," she said.

"Yep, we're real bastards that way. All loving and supportive and excited about shit all the time. ~ Erin Nicholas
Contemporary Architecture quotes by Erin Nicholas
'Beatrice Cenci' was an amazing film. If it were released today it'd win Best Picture. It's so well done, it's so contemporary, and the filmmaking is so smart. ~ Eli Roth
Contemporary Architecture quotes by Eli Roth
'Think simple' as my old master used to say - meaning reduce the whole of its parts into the simplest terms, getting back to first principles. ~ Frank Lloyd Wright
Contemporary Architecture quotes by Frank Lloyd Wright
Guess what, Callie? Love isn't safe. It's messed up and crazy and it hurts like hell. But why would you want anything less than what we had? Jesus, what we had - it was more than love. It was…Dammit. Why do I have to explain this to you? I'm empty without you, and no other woman, no friend or brother - no one can take your place. You're part of me. And I'm sorry but I'm not buying that you've moved on. We messed up, and we got lost, but I will be damned if I accept that you'd rather have some boring, bland, safe relationship than me. ~ Erika Kelly
Contemporary Architecture quotes by Erika Kelly
She hoped he kissed her.
Only her.
And that when he kissed her, he was thinking about her.
Only her.
If he kissed her, she would kiss him back.
She would kiss him back with everything she had.
Every last person in the stadium would watch her kiss him, and every last one of them would know she wouldn't have minded kissing him forever. ~ Jamie Farrell
Contemporary Architecture quotes by Jamie Farrell
Well then, I guess I'm man enough to admit that I'm trying to get in touch with my inner bitch. ~ Elle Lothlorien
Contemporary Architecture quotes by Elle Lothlorien
Technically and logically speaking, actual Victorian science fiction writers cannot be dubbed 'steampunks.' Although they utilized many of the same tropes and touchstones employed later by twenty-first-century writers of steampunk, in their contemporary hands these devices represented state-of-the-art speculation. ~ Paul Di Filippo
Contemporary Architecture quotes by Paul Di Filippo
Architecture and architectural freedom are above all a social issue that must be seen from inside a political structure, not from outside it, ~ Lina Bo Bardi
Contemporary Architecture quotes by Lina Bo Bardi
The many great gardens of the world, of literature and poetry, of painting and music, of religion and architecture, all make the point as clear as possible: The soul cannot thrive in the absence of a garden. If you don't want paradise, you are not human; and if you are not human, you don't have a soul. ~ Thomas More
Contemporary Architecture quotes by Thomas More
The Services offer the cleanest and most natural support to an aggressive foreign policy; expansion of the empire appeals powerfully to the aristocracy and the professional classes by offering new and ever-growing fields for the honorable and profitable employment of their sons. ~ J.A. Hobson
Contemporary Architecture quotes by J.A. Hobson
Dani had threatened to kill him. This must be the way she planned to do it. Her dark hair was down around her shoulders and she was wearing earrings that glittered in the sunlight. The purple dress she had on showed off her toned legs and hugged her curves. The supply of oxygen to his brain cut off, and he was pretty sure his heart had stopped a couple of beats ago. ~ Cindi Madsen
