Daniel Kleppner
“He who has seen one cathedral ten times has seen something; he who has seen ten cathedrals once has seen but little; and he who has spent half an hour in each of a hundred cathedrals has seen nothing at all.”
Sinclair Lewis

Wendy Insinger
“Everybody has cathedral ceilings now. That's why they want these big trees.”
Ron Olsen
“A pile of rocks ceases to be a rock when somebody contemplates it with the idea of a cathedral in mind.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
“A cathedral, a wave of a storm, a dancer's leap, never turn out to be as high as we had hoped”
Marcel Proust
“The old cathedrals are good, but the great blue dome that hangs over everything is better.”
Thomas Carlyle
