“Ah, to build, to build! That is the noblest art of all the arts. Painting and sculpture are but images, are merely shadows cast by outward things on stone or canvas, having in themselves no separate existence. Architecture, existing in itself, and not in seeming a something it is not, surpasses them as substance shadow.”
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
“If we will be quiet and ready enough, we shall find compensation in every disappointment.”
Henry David Thoreau
“I was an awfully little girl when I went to Longfellow.”
Phyllis Perley
“In Maine, it began as a historical thing. You have portraits of Longfellow and Chamberlain, then you had the wealthy people who could afford it.”
Carl Little
“We get some resistance to rentals because Longfellow residents can't imagine who would want to come into this neighborhood to rent,”
John Bell
“The real truthfulness of all works of imagination, sculpture, painting, and written fiction, is so purely in the imagination, that the artist never seeks to represent positive truth, but the idealized image of a truth”
Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton
“There are three forms of visual art: Painting is art to look at, sculpture is art you can walk around, and architecture is art you can walk through”
Dan Rice
