If man is not ready to risk his life, where is his dignity?

The thrill of creation which we experience which we experience when we see a masterpiece is not unlike the feeling of the artist who created it; such a work is a fragment of the world which he has annexed and which belongs to him alone.

Since 1789 history has had a new perspective, revolution being a successful revolt, and revolt a revolution that has failed.

Even the West has known the architecture of empty space, whose object, for thousands of years, has been less to construct divine houses, than to create sacred places, to seize upon mystery and to immerse man in it-whether by raising the cyclopean pedestal that surrounds him with stars, or by hollowing out the sanctuary that wraps him in haunted night.

One can fool life for a long time, but in the end it always makes us what we were intended to be.
