i get a little romantic about the old Empire State. Just looking at it makes me want to play some Frank Sinatra tunes and sway a little. I have a crush on a building. I'd been in there several times but never to work. I always knew there were offices in there but the face never penetrated, really. You don't work in the Empire State Building. You propose in the Empire State Building. You sneak a flask up there and raise a toast to the whole city of New York.

Maureen Johnson

the Empire State Building was tall. So what? Just proved New York builders didn't know when to stop at a good story.

Craig L. Rice

New York is nearly a grave. The Empire State Building is its gravestone.

Walter Tevis

When I'm in New York I look at the Empire State Building and feel as though it belongs to me ... or is it vice versa?

Fay Wray

When I look at Deco jewelry, I see the New York skyline - the Chrysler Building.

Louise Linton

That New York energy, when you've got the benefit of great weather, it really is terrific. You look up at that skyline, and the Empire State Building is literally in your eyesight - there's nothing like that.

Justin Hartley

You can shoot a film in New York without seeing the Empire State Building. Or Starbucks... although the latter is much less realistic.

There is a precarious balance to the life of a building. It has nothing to do with its age, or the beauty of its construction. A damaged building can always be repaired if it still has life, but a dead building will never be whole again.

Natsuhiko Kyogoku

The soul is a temple; and God is silently building it by night and by day. Precious thoughts are building it; disinterested love is building it; all-penetrating faith is building it.

Henry Ward Beecher

Part of what you try and do when you're writing is to just transcend politics and the moment in a way and talk about something, those fundamental building blocks of building nature.

Lisa Joy

Building your "dream life" is filled with things that can feel like the opposite of a dream: Mistakes Delays Starting over Failure The building part is actually more of a rebuilding that is a continual process. The building is not linear in nature but far more interesting. You might start a creative dream, take the "next step", and find yourself completely bored, dissatisfied, or just not inspired.

Sark

Ever building, building to the clouds, still building higher, and never reflecting that the poor narrow basis cannot sustain the giddy tottering column.

Friedrich Schiller

An old building is like a show. You smell the soul of a building. And the building tells you how to redo it.

Cameron Mackintosh

I don't like to see things on purpose. I like them to soak in. A friend . . . asked me to go to the top of the Empire State Building once, and I told him that he shouldn't treat New York as a sight-it's feeling, an emotional experience. And the same with every place else.
