Quotes
We are in a century of inventions; now one does not even have to take the trouble to climb the steps of a stairway; in the homes of the rich an elevator replaces them nicely. I, too, would like to find an elevator to lift me up to Jesus, for I am too little to climb the rough stairway of perfection.
St Thérèse of Lisieux, Story of a Soul.
"Seamless vertical mobility is at the heart of what our customers want to provide for modern urban living."
