DagnyRearden Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Hello, I am looking for the wide, black and white photo print of the New York City skyline with the quote from the Fountainhead on it. I have seen it offered online before, and I am now unable to find it. "I would throw myself into space, over the city, and protect these buildings with my body." Does anyone remember where to find this? D.R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phibetakappa Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 (edited) Hello, I am looking for the wide, black and white photo print of the New York City skyline with the quote from the Fountainhead on it. I have seen it offered online before, and I am now unable to find it. "I would throw myself into space, over the city, and protect these buildings with my body." Does anyone remember where to find this? D.R. It's in Part 3: Chapter 4, page 446 "I would give the greatest sunset in the word for one sight of New York's skyline. Particularly when one can't see the details. Just the shapes, The shapes and the thought that made them. The sky over New York and the will of man made visible. What other religion do we need? And then people tell me about pilgrimages to some dank pesthole in a jungle where they go to do homage to a crumbling temple, to a leering stone monster with a pot belly, created by some leprous savage. Is it beauty and genius they want to see? Do they seek a sense of the sublime? Let them come to New York, stand on the shore of the Hudson, look and kneel. When I see the city from my window—no, I don't feel how small I am—but I feel that if a war came to threaten this, I would like to throw myself into space, over the city, and protect these buildings with my body." "Gail, I don't know whether I'm listening to you or to myself." "Did you hear yourself just now?" She smiled. "Actually not. But I won't take it back, Gail." "Thank you—Dominique." His voice was soft and amused. Edited January 20, 2010 by phibetakappa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve D'Ippolito Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 DR wanted the poster, not the location of the quote. Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderlysharp Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 If you are unable to find the poster you are looking for, you could write the quote yourself on any poster of the New York City skyline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
