Pyramids Quotes

I go into my library, and all history unrolls before me. I breathe the morning air of the world while the scent of Eden's roses yet lingered in it, while it vibrated only to the world's first brood of nightingales, and to the laugh of Eve. I see the pyramids building; I hear the shoutings of the armies of Alexander Picture Quote #1

Two pyramids, two masses for the dead, are twice as good as one; but not so two railways from London to York Picture Quote #1

Monuments! what are they? the very pyramids have forgotten their builders, or to whom they were dedicated. Deeds, not stones, are the true monuments of the great Picture Quote #1

Ancient astronauts didn’t build the pyramids. Human beings built the pyramids, because they’re clever and they work hard Picture Quote #1

Remember technology does not make good work. You can still write a poem on a brown paper bag, and haiku is just as profound as the pyramids Picture Quote #1

All objects transmit their image to the eye in pyramids and the nearer to the eye these pyramids are intersected the smaller will the image appear of the objects which cause them Picture Quote #1

Architecture is the masterly, correct and magnificent play of masses brought together in light. Our eyes are made to see forms in light; light and shade reveal these forms; cubes, cones, spheres, cylinders or pyramids are the great primary forms which light reveals to advantage; the image of these is distinct and tangible within us without ambiguity. It is for this reason that these are beautiful forms, the most beautiful forms. Everybody is agreed to that, the child, the savage and the metaphysician Picture Quote #1

Mass production is nothing new. Weren’t cathedrals built through mass production? The pyramids?... Paintings can be painted with the left hand, the right hand, someone else’s hand, or many people’s hands. The scale of production is irrelevant to its content Picture Quote #1

Language. By this we build pyramids, fight battles, ordain and administer laws, shape and teach religion, and knit man to man, cultivate each other, and ourselves Picture Quote #1

To the great pharaohs it mattered a great deal to bury their treasures in the pyramids, which they thought they would bring to the other worlds. But obviously it doesn’t matter to them now. They went, the goods stayed Picture Quote #1

The true finish is the work of time, and the use to which a thing is put. The elements are still polishing the pyramids Picture Quote #1

History fades into fable; fact becomes clouded with doubt and controversy; the inscription molders from the tablet: the statue falls from the pedestal. Columns, arches, pyramids, what are they but heaps of sand; and their epitaphs, but characters written in the dust? Picture Quote #1

You know what I’d really like to do the most right now? Climb up to the top of some high place like the pyramids. The highest place I can find. Where you can see forever. Stand on the very top, look all around the world, see all the scenery, and see with my own eyes what’s been lost from the world Picture Quote #1

I have to admit, though, that Cynthia was a great organizer, but then, so were the men with whips who got the pyramids built Picture Quote #1

Prayer is meaningless unless it is subversive, unless it seeks to overthrow and to ruin the pyramids of callousness, hatred, opportunism, falsehoods. The liturgical movement must become a revolutionary movement seeking to overthrow the forces that continue to destroy the promise, the hope, the vision Picture Quote #1

Soldiers, think of it, from the summit of these pyramids, forty centuries look down upon you Picture Quote #1

Some men are like pyramids, which are very broad where they touch the ground, but grow narrow as they reach the sky Picture Quote #1
