“In einem unablässigen Prozess von Aufbau und Verfall würden Bauwerke erscheinen und verschwinden, sie würden aufeinander, auseinander oder ineinander errichtet werden. Sie würden miteinander kämpfen, um sich anschließend zu vermählen und ungeheuerliche Nachkommen hervorzubringen. Kein einziges dieser Bauwerke würde in der von seinen Schöpfern beabsichtigten Gestalt Bestand haben.”
Edward Hollis, The Secret Lives of Buildings: From the Ruins of the Parthenon to the Vegas Strip in Thirteen Stories
