No architecture is so haughty as that which is simple.

It seems a fantastic paradox, but it is nevertheless a most important truth, that no architecture can be truly noble which is not imperfect.

Art is not a study of positive reality, it is the seeking for ideal truth.

Fine art is that in which the hand, the head, and the heart of man go together.

All great art is the work of the whole living creature, body and soul, and chiefly of the soul.
