Ada Louise Huxtable Quotes, Tombstone Quotes, Tragedy Quotes

Who’s afraid of the big, bad buildings? Everyone, because there are so many things about gigantism that we just don’t know.

The trade center towers could be the start of a new skyscraper age or the biggest tombstones in the world.

I do not recall another period when ‘faith’ was as popular as it is today. ‘If only we believe hard enough we'll make it somehow.’ So goes the popular chant. What you believe is not important. Only believe... What is overlooked in all this is that faith is good only when it engages truth; when it is made to rest upon falsehood it can and often does lead to eternal tragedy. For it is not enough that we believe; we must believe the right thing about the right One.
