All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken.
A light from the shadow shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

~J.R.R. Tolkien

The Architecture of Quotes

Just a joke.


Michelangelo Buonarroti



“The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.”




"If people only knew how hard I work to gain my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful at all."



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

“While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die.”


“He who wishes to be rich in a day will be hanged in a year”

I almost forget that he invented the scissors.
*worship*


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Frank Lloyd Wright
"I'm all in favour of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools. Let's start with typewriters. "

"The present is the ever moving shadow that divides yesterday from tomorrow. In that lies hope."


"Early in life I had to choose between honest arrogance and hypocritical humility. I chose honest arrogance and have seen no occasion to change." In later years..."I feel coming on a strange disease -- humility."
"Youth is a quality, not a matter of circumstances."

 (Don't you think he is an interesting man?)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Louis Kahn

 
"The creation of art is not the fulfillment of a need but the creation of a need. The world never needed Beethoven's Fifth Symphony until he created it. Now we could not live without it."





 ......well-put in words about what I thought about da Vinci's scissors. *clapclap*


His famous (infamous) quote:
“To express is to drive.
And when you want to give something presence,
you have to consult nature.
And there is where Design comes in.

And if you think of Brick, for instance,
and you say to Brick,
"What do you want Brick?"
And Brick says to you
"I like an Arch."
And if you say to Brick
"Look, arches are expensive,
and I can use a concrete lentil over you.
What do you think of that?"
"Brick?"

Brick says:
"... I like an Arch”


I like inspirations, the bad side is I get uninspired very quickly and usually forget about the inspirations but luckily I like inspirations (looping).
