Art rests on a kind of religious sense, on a deep, steadfast earnestness; and on this account it unites so readily with religion.

What dazzles, for the moment spends its spirit; Whats genuine, shall posterity inherit.

I call architecture frozen music.

On all the peaks lies peace.

All beginnings are delightful; the threshold is the place to pause.

The sea is flowing ever, The land retains it never.
