“A structure becomes architectural, and not sculptural, when its elements no longer have their justification in nature.”

“All the words I have to say have turned into stars.”

“Without poets, without artists, men would soon weary of nature's monotony. The sublime idea men have of the universe would collapse with dizzying speed.

There would be no seasons, no civilization, no thought, no humanity; even life would give way, and the impotent void would reign everywhere.”
