There are no rules of architecture for a castle in the clouds.
Gilbert K. ChestertonAn architect should live as little in cities as a painter. Send him to our hills, and let him study there what nature understands by a buttress, and what by a dome.
John RuskinUntil 1914 I loved to travel; I often went to Italy and once spent a few months in India. Since then I have almost entirely abandoned travelling, and I have not been outside of Switzerland for over ten years.
Hermann HesseSevier County is a great area.
Dolly PartonA queer fellow and a jolly fellow is the grasshopper. Up the mountains he comes on excursions, how high I don’t know, but at least as far and high as Yosemite tourists.
John MuirFrank Lloyd Wright… his things were beautiful but not very functional.
David ByrneI’ve grown accustomed to hotels and drastic climate change.
The WeekndI call architecture frozen music.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheProse is architecture, not interior decoration, and the Baroque is over.
Ernest HemingwayTourism provides employment to the poorest of the poor. Gram seller earns something, auto-rickshaw driver earns something, pakoda seller earns something, and tea seller also earns something.
Narendra ModiAnyone who doesn’t have a great time in San Francisco is pretty much dead to me.
Anthony BourdainHowever, because Britain is young and exciting, I did show my second line here once or twice.
Vivienne WestwoodCross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.
Steven WrightIt is impossible, as impossible as to raise the dead, to restore anything that has ever been great or beautiful in architecture. That which I have insisted upon as the life of the whole, that spirit which is given only by the hand and eye of the workman, can never be recalled.
John RuskinSwitzerland is a country where very few things begin, but many things end.
F. Scott FitzgeraldLondon is a roost for every bird.
Benjamin DisraeliNo architecture is so haughty as that which is simple.
John RuskinAll architecture is great architecture after sunset; perhaps architecture is really a nocturnal art, like the art of fireworks.

Christopher ColumbusFrom the heights of these pyramids, forty centuries look down on us.
Napoleon BonapartePeople from all over the world come to London wanting to make their own mark on it, and they add to the energy and vitality of the capital. It’s got a bit busier since the ’60s, but the more the merrier!
Richard BransonI 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. ChestertonIt seems a fantastic paradox, but it is nevertheless a most important truth, that no architecture can be truly noble which is not imperfect.
John RuskinSuburban houses and tin sheds are often the objects of ridicule.
David ByrneThe terrifying and edible beauty of Art Nouveau architecture.
Salvador DaliWe shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us.
Winston ChurchillI paint mostly from real life. It has to start with that. Real people, real street scenes, behind the curtain scenes, live models, paintings, photographs, staged setups, architecture, grids, graphic design. Whatever it takes to make it work.
Bob DylanThe common thread for everything I do is this idea of a Web-services architecture. What does that mean? It means taking components of software and systems and having them be self-describing, so that you can aim them, ask them what their capabilities are, and communicate with them using a standard protocol.
Bill GatesI never write about the road. I never write about hotels or anything like that.
Taylor SwiftTourism is a very big economic benefit to the Sherpa people, and also, they have very strong ties to their own social attitudes and their own religion, so fortunately, they’re not too influenced by many of our Western attitudes.
Edmund HillaryThe old cathedrals are good, but the great blue dome that hangs over everything is better.
Thomas CarlyleTo other countries, I may go as a tourist, but to India, I come as a pilgrim.
Martin Luther King, Jr.The secret to the movie business, or any business, is to get a good education in a subject besides film – whether it’s history, psychology, economics, or architecture – so you have something to make a movie about. All the skill in the world isn’t going to help you unless you have something to say.
George LucasThe traveler sees what he sees, the tourist sees what he has come to see.
Gilbert K. ChestertonIt’s wonderful to be here in the great state of Chicago.
Dan QuayleThey can do without architecture who have no olives nor wines in the cellar.
Henry David ThoreauTo start with, I love New York… It’s a little bit of the whole world… In New York, the whole world comes to you.
Billy GrahamFashion is architecture: it is a matter of proportions.
Coco ChanelMore understand China, then more people will have interest in China and more people will come to China to visit us because I am a tourist ambassador.
Jackie ChanI think Canadians are more interested in international events than Americans because it is such a small country, so politics affect it more.
Jordan PetersonWe require from buildings two kinds of goodness: first, the doing their practical duty well: then that they be graceful and pleasing in doing it.
John RuskinNo person who is not a great sculptor or painter can be an architect. If he is not a sculptor or painter, he can only be a builder.
John Ruskin
