American megalomania is largely responsible for the growth of the Skyscraper School.
Philip Johnson
Image
Our concern is not how to worship in the catacombs but how to remain human in the skyscrapers.
Abraham Joshua Heschel
Image
Don't you give me that postmodern bullshit. There is truth, There is a truth. And what you want, or you feel, or you need, isn't going to change the truth. Any more than it's going to topple a skyscraper. There's truth, and there's belief. Don't call a mule a stallion.

I love pre-code movies. Some of my favorites are movies with Warren William and there is an MGM film called Skyscraper Souls which is the best Warner Brothers movie that MGM ever made.
Mike Royer
Image
The City of New York is like an enormous citadel, a modern Carcassonne. Walking between the magnificent skyscrapers one feels the presence on the fringe of a howling, raging mob, a mob with empty bellies, a mob unshaven and in rags.
Henry Miller
Image
I mean, I know thousands of people died and everything, but if it happened today, there's just no excuse. They'd be much safer inside a movie theater watching one of my movies instead of burning alive in a collapsing skyscraper.
Zach Braff

A skyscraper is a boast in glass and steel.
Mason Cooley
Image
There is nothing more poetic and terrible than the skyscrapers' battle with the heavens that cover them. Snow, rain, and mist highlight, drench, or conceal the vast towers, but those towers, hostile to mystery and blind to any sort of play, shear off the rain's tresses and shine their three thousand swords through the soft swan of the fog.
Federico Garcia Lorca
Image
To me, you can't have style without being inspired. When I design a collection, I am inspired by so many things. The color of a flower. The shape of a butterly's wing. The juxtaposition of an old tenement building next to a shiny new skyscraper.
Isaac Mizrahi

Art deals with profound and simple moods. Let us suppose that the artist - in this instance (the artist) Picabia - gets a certain impression by looking at our skyscrapers, our city, our way of life, and that he tries to reproduce it. He will convey it in plastic ways on the canvas, even though we see neither skyscrapers nor city on it.
Filippo Tommaso Marinetti
Image
I just need green. I need to wake up and see grass and squirrels. I don't want to see skyscrapers.
Andre Leon Talley
Image
Because everyone is the same distance from the sun. Does it really lessen the distance if you live on top of a skyscraper?
Anthony de Mello
Image
No security guard can stop a refrigerator falling off a skyscraper.
Jadakiss
Image
We have had the stone age we have had the iron age and now we have the sky age, and the sky telegraph, and sky men, and sky cities. Mountains of stone are built out of men's visions. Towers and skyscrapers swing up out of their wills and up out of their hearts.
Gerald Stanley Lee
Image
Solidarity is not a matter of sentiment but a fact, cold and impassive as the granite foundations of a skyscraper. If the basic elements, identity of interest, clarity of vision, honesty of intent, and oneness of purpose, or any of these is lacking, all sentimental pleas for solidarity, and all other efforts to achieve it will be barren of results.
Eugene V. Debs
Image
From torched skyscrapers, men grew wings.
Gregory Maguire
Image
Creating a new theory is not like destroying an old barn and erecting a skyscraper in its place. It is rather like climbing a mountain and gaining new and wider views.
Albert Einstein
Image
Who’s afraid of the big, bad buildings? Everyone, because there are so many things about gigantism that we just don’t know. The gamble of triumph or tragedy at this scale — and ultimately it is a gamble — demands an extraordinary payoff. The trade center towers could be the start of a new skyscraper age or the biggest tombstones in the world.
Ada Louise Huxtable
Image
A skyscraper is a machine that makes the land pay.
Cass Gilbert
Image
And when God steps in, His working is like the difference between a skyscraper and a star.
Charles R. Swindoll
Image
Hitler wanted to hear all about the American skyscrapers ... but failed utterly to draw logical conclusions from the information. .... He was passionately interested in the Ku Klux Klan. ... He seemed to think it was a political movement similar to his own.
Ernst Hanfstaengl
Image
Surely that little pseudo-gothic church on Broadway, hidden amongst the skyscrapers, is symbolic of the age! On the whole face of the globe the civilization that has conquered it has failed to build a temple or a tomb.
Andre Malraux
Image
Raising a child is very much like building a skyscraper. If the first few stories are slightly out of line. no one will notice. But when the building is 18 or 20 stories high, everyone will see that it tilts.
Jim Bishop
Image
The accent today is on results, not on how well you work. You can't build a skyscraper in a day, but you can build a shack.
Arrigo Sacchi
