Coco Chanel

The sky is the daily bread of the eyes.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Charles Baudelaire

Our passionate preoccupation with the sky, the stars, and a God somewhere in outer space is a homing impulse. We are drawn back to where we came from.

Eric Hoffer

Geometry is of much assistance in architecture, and in particular it teaches us the use of the rule and compasses, by which especially we acquire readiness in making plans for buildings in their grounds, and rightly apply the square, the level, and the plummet. By means of optics the light in buildings can be drawn from fixed quarters of the sky. Difficult questions involving symmetry are solved by means of geometrical theories and methods.

Vitruvius

There will... be natural propriety in using an eastern light for bedrooms and libraries, a western light in winter for baths and winter apartments, and a northern light for picture galleries and other places in which a steady light is needed; for that quarter of the sky grows neither light nor dark with the course of the sun, but remains steady and unshifting all day long.

Vitruvius

Is it, in Heav'n, a crime to love too well To bear too tender, or too firm a heart To act a lover's or a Roman's part Is there no bright reversion in the sky, For those who greatly think, or bravely die.

Alexander Pope

You see many stars at night in the sky but find them not when the sun rises can you say that there are no stars in the heaven of the day So, O man as you behold not God in the days of your ignorance, say not that there is no God.

Ramakrishna

The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heavens, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim. (Joseph Addison)

When you love a man, he becomes more than a body. His physical limbs expand, and his outline recedes, vanishes. He is rich and sweet and right. He is part of the world, the atmosphere, the blue sky and the blue water.
