"Uttering a word is like striking a note on the keyboard of the imagination." ― Ludwig Wittgenstein Topic(s): Architecture More From Ludwig Wittgenstein "It is so characteristic, that just when the mechanics of reproduction are so vastly improved, there are fewer and fewer people who know how the music should be played." "I sit astride life like a bad rider on a horse. I only owe it to the horse’s good nature that I am not thrown off at this very moment." "Man has to awaken to wonder – and so perhaps do peoples. Science is a way of sending him to sleep again." More In Architecture "Architecture is not an inspirational business, it’s a rational procedure to do sensible and hopefully beautiful things; that’s all."― Harry Seidler "I was planning to go into architecture. But when I arrived, architecture was filled up. Acting was right next to it, so I signed up for acting instead."― Gilbert K. Chesterton "Rome has not seen a modern building in more than half a century. It is a city frozen in time."― Richard Meier
