It takes two people to make you, one people to die. That's how the world is going to end.
William Faulkner, As I Lay Dying, 1930
... Next came one
Who mourned in earnest, when the captive ark
Maimed his brute image, head and hands lopt off,
In his own temple, on the grunsel-edge,
Where he fell flat and shamed his worshippers:
Dagon his name, sea-monster, upward man
And downward fish; yet had his temple high
Reared in Azotus, dreaded through the coast
Of Palestine, in Gath and Ascalon,
And Accaron and Gaza's frontier bounds.
John Milton, Paradise Lost, 1667
I only do one design. If I do three, obviously one is going to be the best. You’re only going to want the best, so I’m only going to show you one.
Shigeru Ban, "On Architecture," 2014
Often when we talk about cities we talk about architecture, architecture, building, building. But the city is really a sense of one community.
Jaume Plensa, TEDx Talk at SMU, Dallas, TX, 2011
I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness.
Isaiah, John 1:23 and Motto of Dartmouth College, c. 700 BCE / 90 CE
