Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
From the smallest necessity to the highest religious abstraction, from the wheel to the skyscraper, everything we are and everything we have comes from one attribute of man - the function of his reasoning mind.
Ayn Rand

John Keegan
New York means so much to people. If you're inclined to leave the nest, New York is where most people think they have to go, and it's been that way since the first skyscraper.
Griffin Dunne
The skyscraper establishes the block, the block creates the street, the street offers itself to man.
Roland Barthes
