Every appearance in nature corresponds to some state of the mind, and that state of the mind can only be described by presenting that natural appearance as its picture. Ralph Waldo Emerson Mysticism is the mistake of an accidental and individual symbol for an universal one. Ralph Waldo Emerson I would never want to be a member of a group whose symbol was a guy nailed to two pieces of wood. George Carlin Architecture has recorded the great ideas of the human race.
