E. J. W. Barber Citas

• The Japanese garden is a very important tool in Japanese architectural design because, not only is a garden traditionally included in any house design, the garden itself also reflects a deeper set of cultural meanings and traditions. Whereas the English garden seeks to make only an aesthetic impression, the Japanese garden is both aesthetic and reflective. The most basic element of any Japanese garden design comes from the realization that every detail has a significant value.

• De hecho, la cuerda es tan poderosa para someter el mundo a la voluntad y el ingenio humanos que sospecho que es el arma invisible que permitió a la raza humana conquistar la Tierra, que nos permitió introducirnos en todas las economías del planeta durante el Paleolítico Superior. Podríamos llamarla la Revolución de las Cuerdas.
