There's more truth about a camp than a house. Planning laws need not worry the improvising builder because temporary structures are more beautiful anyway, and you don't need permission for them.

But a camp represents the true reality of things: we're just passing through. — Roger Deakin
The Besicovitch style is architectural.

Every Besicovitch proof is a work of art, as carefully constructed as a Bach fugue. — Freeman Dyson
If theory is the role of the architect, then such beautiful proofs are the role of the craftsman. Of course, as with the great renaissance artists, such roles are not mutually exclusive.

A design may be called organic when there is an harmonious organization of the parts within the whole, according to structure, material, and purpose.

There is no such thing as beauty. If your culture says, 'This is a beautiful girl,' that's within the framework of your culture.

All these mythological structures is what gets us into trouble; the artificiality of our values that get us into trouble. — Jacque Fresco
I've never been one that thinks that the function of an instrument is to approach the purity of voice or the structure of a beautifully sung line. — Evan Parker

In Because, Joseph Riippi says he wants this book to be ‘a love letter, a prayer, a purge’ but it actually becomes even more than that.

It transcends its simple mantra-like structure and becomes a reverberating world of beauty and wonder. — Kevin Sampsell
Love always seeks for betterment, for ways of making life more workable, joyful, whole, and beautiful. Love examines every option available to bring about an improvement in life.

They seem to be echoes of old songs. — Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
