Famous Landscape Architect Quotes?
I have to do a photo essay based on a quote related to landscape architecture to apply for a major in landscape architecture at my college. Can anyone think of any quotes by famous or well known landscape architects? Searching for "landscape architecture quotes" did not give me much... what do you think of "Works of landscape architecture tend to be ephemeral, and their moments of perfection (between long periods of growth and decay) are fleeting." ?

- A building is akin to dogma; it is insolent, like dogma. Whether or no it is permanent All architects want to live beyond their death An architect should live as little in cities as a painter Even within the most beautiful landscape, in the trees, under the leaves the insects are eating each other; violence is a part of life. Francis Bacon Quotes - Artists You like it, that's all, whether it's a landscape or abstract. You like it. It hits you. You don't have to read it. The work of art-sculpture or painting-forces your eye. Clement Greenberg Quotes - Art Critics Everyone can identify with a fragrant garden, with the beauty of sunset, with the quiet of nature, with a warm and cozy cottage. Thomas Kinkade Quotes - landscape quotes - Artists I want people to know what it is they're looking at. But at the same time, the closer they get to the painting, it's like going back into childhood. And it's like an abstract piece.. it becomes the landscape of the brush marks rather than just sort of an intellectual landscape. Jenny Saville Quotes
