No doubt soaring cathedrals, stirring music, moving stories and parables, help a bit. But by far the most important variable determining your religion is the accident of birth Picture Quote #1

Universities are the cathedrals of the modern age. They shouldn’t have to justify their existence by utilitarian criteria Picture Quote #1

Many men build as cathedrals were built, the part nearest the ground finished; but that part which soars toward heaven, the turrets and the spires, forever incomplete Picture Quote #1

Art used to be made in the name of faith. We made cathedrals, we made stained-glass windows, we made murals Picture Quote #1

I dream of diving in two places where I have not been yet. One is Antarctica, because of its crystal clear waters and amazing fauna, in addition to the ice cathedrals. The other is the Arctic, where I’d like to see the northernmost kelp forests Picture Quote #1

We spend more time at cinemas, theaters, art galleries and theme parks than we do at churches, and they have become our new cathedrals. We can spend hours at any of these places of entertainment but if church service goes on too long we get impatient Picture Quote #1

As regards my own ‘philosophy,’ I continue to be inspired by the music, liturgy and architectural tradition of the Anglican Church in which I was brought up. No one can fail to be uplifted by great cathedrals - such as that at Ely, near my home in Cambridge Picture Quote #1

These old ballparks are like cathedrals in America. We don’t have big old Gothic cathedrals like they do in Europe. But we got baseball parks Picture Quote #1

I feel comfortable singing in the great cathedrals of the world because I spent so much time as a child singing in church. And it isn’t very different. Of course, nothing looks quite like Notre Dame de Paris Picture Quote #1

Most buildings, whether they’re Gothic cathedrals or Romanesque ones, were high tech for their time Picture Quote #1

Forest, I fear you! In my ruined heart your roaring wakens the same agony as in cathedrals when the organ moans and from the depths I hear that I am damned Picture Quote #1

One may as well dam for water tanks the people’s cathedrals and churches, for no holier temple has ever been consecrated by the heart of man Picture Quote #1

A few minutes ago every tree was excited, bowing to the roaring storm, waving, swirling, tossing their branches in glorious enthusiasm like worship. But though to the outer ear these trees are now silent, their songs never cease. Every hidden cell is throbbing with music and life, every fiber thrilling like harp strings, while incense is ever flowing from the balsam bells and leaves. No wonder the hills and groves were God's first temples, and the more they are cut down and hewn into cathedrals and churches, the farther off and dimmer seems the Lord himself Picture Quote #1

When your field is architecture, you go visit the great cathedrals of the world. My field was relationships. I got married many times. I was practicing. I didn’t date much; I just would get married. I thought, why waste time? Picture Quote #1

Cathedrals do not seem to me to have been built. They seem, rather, stupendous growths of nature, like crystals, or cliffs of basalt Picture Quote #1

Mass production is nothing new. Weren’t cathedrals built through mass production? The pyramids?... Paintings can be painted with the left hand, the right hand, someone else’s hand, or many people’s hands. The scale of production is irrelevant to its content Picture Quote #1

I love church buildings, particularly cathedrals, and I like living in spaces that remind me of music or evoke that creative energy Picture Quote #1

Mountains are cathedrals: grand and pure, the houses of my religion. I go to them as humans go to worship... From their lofty summits, I view my past, dream of the future, and with unusual acuity I am allowed to experience the present moment. My strength renewed, my vision cleared, in the mountains I celebrate creation. On each journey I am reborn Picture Quote #1

Mountains are not stadiums where I satisfy my ambition to achieve, they are the cathedrals where I practice my religion Picture Quote #1

My icons do not raise up the blessed savior in elaborate cathedrals. They are constructed concentrations celebrating barren rooms. They bring a limited light Picture Quote #1
