Artists to my mind are the real architects of change, and not the political legislators who implement change after the fact.

William S. Burroughs

Conversion requires a subtler mind. Architects don't like it, architects want to create their own landmark buildings so that people a few years hence will say, 'Oh, that building there is being knocked down, who did that one?'

Jonathan Meades

It's hardly even noticeable that so many artists, designers and architects live here. It isn't reflected in the cityscape or in the museums. Many of the artists, for example, exhibit around the world, just not in Berlin.

Olafur Eliasson

Writers and artists build by hand little worlds that they hope might effect change in real minds, in the real world where stories are read. A story can make us cry and laugh, break our hearts, or make us angry enough to change the world.

Grant Morrison

Purses are dreamt up by artists, not architects.

Lauren Conrad

The only legitimate artists in England are the architects.

Benjamin Haydon

Great architects like Taut, Mendelsohn, and Gropius built some astonishing buildings which were to change the way architects around the world thought. Brecht and Weill forever changed musical theatre; Kaethe Kollwitz and others changed German perceptions of the purposes of art.

Justin Cartwright

Those who say only artists and architects can create are the ones who are elitist.

Frank Gehry

My mom was real into like a lot of different musical artists, real artists, even back when Jay-Z and Beyonce was together.

Trippie Redd

In Europe, architects consider themselves artists. They think they're special when they win a competition.

Helmut Jahn

The Renaissance is studded by the names of the artists and architects, with their creations recorded as great historical events.

Arthur Erickson

The average mind requires a change of environment before he can change his thought. He has to go somewhere or bring into his presence something that will suggest a new line of thinking and feeling. The master mind, however, can change his thought whenever he so desires. A change of scene is not necessary, because such a mind is not controlled from without. A change of scene will not produce a change of thought in the master mind unless he so elects.

Christian D. Larson

The magazines were born out of a need that my parents saw: that there were no magazines that really spoke to black people. 'Ebony' wrote about architects and artists, the share cropper who sent his nine kids to college, real African Americans at a time when everyone else only covered them as entertainers and athletes.

Linda Johnson Rice

There is an effective strategy open to architects. Whereas doctors deal with the interior organisms of man, architects deal with the exterior organisms of man. Architects might join with one another to carry on their work in laboratories as do doctors in anticipatory medicine.

R. Buckminster Fuller

If architects weren't arrogant, they wouldn't be architects. I don't know a modest good architect.

Philip Johnson

When you see me on TV, that's about as close to my real personality as you can get. There are a certain amount of folks who admire me, there are a certain amount of folks who don't, and I'm not going to try and change their mind. Nothing I can do will change their mind anyway, because they already have a good gauge of who I am as a person.

John Cena
