Tower Quotes

I am not feeling any better because I cannot stay in bed, having constant cause for walking. They say I leave at night by the window of my tower, hanging from a red umbrella with which I set fire to the forest! Picture Quote #1

This tower, patched unevenly with black ivy, arose like a mutilated finger from among the fists of knuckled masonry and pointed blasphemously at heaven. At night the owls made of it an echoing throat; by day it stood voiceless and cast its long shadow Picture Quote #1

Smooth shapes are very rare in the wild but extremely important in the ivory tower and the factory Picture Quote #1

Before this distinguished assembly and the world, the bells today proclaim the joyous tidings of the completion of this quietly soaring tower Picture Quote #1

Strategy should evolve out of the mud of the marketplace, not in the antiseptic environment of an ivory tower Picture Quote #1

I know sometimes I can come off like a lonely spinster in a tower. That’s not me at all Picture Quote #1

He stood beneath the white tower, and looked up at it with that mournful expression which his face always carried in repose: for one moment he thought of climbing up its cracked and broken stone, and then from its summit screaming down at the silent city as a child might scream at a chained animal Picture Quote #1

One day I would have all the books in the world, shelves and shelves of them. I would live my life in a tower of books. I would read all day long and eat peaches. And if any young knights in armor dared to come calling on their white chargers and plead with me to let down my hair, I would pelt them with peach pits until they went home Picture Quote #1

If you took every tear cried by everyone on earth on one single day and put them in a container, how big would that container need to be? Could you fill a water tower? Three water towers? It’s one of those unknowable things. There has to be an answer, but we’ll never know what it is Picture Quote #1

A man’s mind is won’t to tell him more than seven watchmen sitting in a tower Picture Quote #1

Lord, where shall I find you? Your place is lofty and secret. And where shall I not find you? The whole earth is full of your glory! You are found in our innermost heart, yet you fixed earth’s boundaries. You are a strong tower for those who are near and the trust of those who go far. I have sought to come near you; I have called to you with all my heart; and when I went out towards you, I found you coming towards me Picture Quote #1

There is an attraction and a charm inherent in the colossal that is not subject to ordinary theories of art... The tower will be the tallest edifice ever raised by man. Will it therefore be imposing in its own way? Picture Quote #1

Wisdom can see the red, the rose, the stained and sculptured curve of grey, the charcoal scars of fire, and see around that living tower of tree the hermit tatters of old bark split down and strip to end the season; and can be quiet and not look for reasons past the edge of reason Picture Quote #1

I’m the tower of power, too sweet to be sour. I’m funky like a monkey. Sky’s the limit and space is the place! Picture Quote #1

I’m not a believer in putting designers off in an ivory tower. They need to have a voice at the table so they can identify where and why design can make a difference. We also need to understand the business issues. If we don’t make our numbers this quarter, we don’t earn the right to do something cool the next time Picture Quote #1

You can put down a bad book; you can avoid listening to bad music; but you cannot miss the ugly tower block opposite your house Picture Quote #1

Many live in the ivory tower called reality; they never venture on the open sea of thought Picture Quote #1

I actually felt calmer and more serene when we got up to the tower that I think I ever have. We had literally done everything we could to prepare Picture Quote #1

Command is a mountaintop. The air breathed there is different, and the perspectives seen there are different, from those of the valley of obedience. The passion for order and the genius for construction, which are part of man’s natural endowment, get full play there. The man who has grown great sees from the top of his tower what he can make, if he so wills, of the swarming masses below him Picture Quote #1

Now the work of art also represents a state of final equilibrium, of accomplished order and maximum relative entropy, and there are those who resent it. But art is not meant to stop the stream of life. Within a narrow span of duration and space the work of art concentrates a view of the human condition; and sometimes it marks the steps of progression, just as a man climbing the dark stairs of a medieval tower assures himself by the changing sights glimpsed through its narrow windows that he is getting somewhere after all Picture Quote #1

That’s a big part of being a designer now: going out, having dinners, meeting people. Being in an ivory tower, you can feel very removed Picture Quote #1

Lust is a strong tower of mischief, and hath in it many defenders, as neediness, anger, paleness, discord, love, and longing Picture Quote #1

Seville is a tower full of fine archers... Under the arch of the sky, across the clear plain, she shoots the constant arrow of her river Picture Quote #1

Children from ten to twenty don’t want to be understood. Their whole ambition is to feel strange and alien and misinterpreted so that they can live austerely in some stone tower of adolescence, their privacies unviolated Picture Quote #1

Manhattan, one of the most moneyed spots on the planet, also has one of the greatest concentrations of people in its skyscrapers. Its also, of course, the place where every architect wants to build his tower Picture Quote #1

The only refuge left to us was the poet’s ivory tower, which we climbed, ever higher, to isolate ourselves from the mob Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to live in an ivory tower, being the songwriter who just turns inward Picture Quote #1

Do you wish to rise? Begin by descending. You plan a tower that will pierce the clouds? Lay first the foundation of humility Picture Quote #1

A tree trunk the size of a man grows from a blade as thin as a hair. A tower nine stories high is built from a small heap of earth Picture Quote #1

Ambition is to the mind what the cap is to the falcon; it blinds us first, and then compels us to tower by reason of our blindness Picture Quote #1
