Two prisoners whose cells adjoin communicate with each other by knocking on the wall. The wall is the thing which separates them but is also their means of communication. It is the same with us and God. Every separation is a link. Simone Weil
A lot of people insisted on a wall between modern dance and ballet. I'm beginning to think that walls are very unhealthy things. Twyla Tharp
Minoru Yamasaki quote: "If you have white walls, human beings look better in a room..."
If you have white walls, human beings look better in a room than if you have red walls. Minoru Yamasaki
Gustav Mahler quote: "I am hitting my head against the walls, but the walls are..."
I am hitting my head against the walls, but the walls are giving way. Gustav Mahler
One of my challenges was to try to photograph the Great Wall of China. And I did actually take some photos, but it was hard to discern the wall with the naked eye. Leroy Chiao
I remember an article, I can't recall who by, it was after the fall of the Berlin Wall, which said that now the Wall was down, there could be no more class war. Only someone with money could ever say such a thing. Claude Chabrol
