"There are no rules of architecture for a castle in the clouds." ― Gilbert K. Chesterton Topic(s): Architecture Tags: rules, there More From Gilbert K. Chesterton "White… is not a mere absence of colour; it is a shining and affirmative thing, as fierce as red, as definite as black… God paints in many colours; but He never paints so gorgeously, I had almost said so gaudily, as when He paints in white." "The trouble with always trying to preserve the health of the body is that it is so difficult to do without destroying the health of the mind." "The true object of all human life is play. Earth is a task garden; heaven is a playground." More In Architecture "The building of the architecture of a novel – the craft of it – is something I never tire of."― John Irving "I take a lot from everywhere. I take from music, architecture, novels, and plays. Anywhere that hits you."― Alex Winter "I believe very strongly, and have fought since many years ago – at least over 30 years ago – to get architecture not just within schools, but architecture talked about under history, geography, science, technology, art."― Richard Rogers
