No one has ever written, painted, sculpted, modeled, built, or invented except literally to get out of hell.
Antonin Artaud

School divides life into two segments, which are increasingly of comparable length. As much as anything else, schooling implies custodial care for persons who are declared undesirable elsewhere by the simple fact that a school has been built to serve them.
Ivan Illich

This town was built on nepotism.
Damon Wayans

Their houses are all built in the shape of tents, with very high chimneys.
Christopher Columbus

Canada was built on dead beavers.
Margaret Atwood

A ratio of failures is built into the process of writing. The wastebasket has evolved for a reason.
Margaret Atwood

The masses are the decisive element, they are the rock on which the final victory of the revolution will be built.
Rosa Luxemburg

Everyone should have the same opportunity, and in many areas that's not the case because programs are built around the elite.
Bobby Orr

Whenever I heard the song of a bird and the answering call of its mate, I could visualize the notes in scale, all built up within my consciousness as a natural symphony.
William Christopher Handy

In remembering the appalling suffering of war on both sides, we recognise how precious is the peace we have built in Europe since 1945.
Queen Elizabeth II

Grace Slick

When the soldiers came home from Vietnam, there were no parades, no celebrations. So they built the Vietnam Memorial for themselves.
William Westmoreland

Science is built up of facts, as a house is with stones. But a collection of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house.
Henri Poincare

The Freudian theory is one of the most important foundation stones for an edifice to be built by future generations, the dwelling of a freer and wiser humanity.
Thomas Mann

The first plane ride was in a homemade glider my buddy and I built. Unfortunately we didn't get more than four feet off the ground, because it crashed.
Alan Shepard

Well, I couldn't do the day-to-day stuff of being a politician or anything, but I just think everybody should have an opinion and everybody should vote, and that's what we're built on.
Toby Keith

A great deal of pressure was then built up to remove me from the club and my resignation was, finally, a forced one.
David R. Brower

The Jews had, as a matter of fact, long been all along the most ingenious entrepreneurs. It was only our own future that we had never built upon a business basis.
Theodor Herzl

My art is an attempt to reach beyond the surface appearance. I want to see growth in wood, time in stone, nature in a city, and I do not mean its parks but a deeper understanding that a city is nature too-the ground upon which it is built, the stone with which it is made.
Andy Goldsworthy

Buffalo Bill
