“...Originally everything about a Greek or Christian building meant something, and in reference to a higher order of things.

This atmosphere of inexhaustible meaningfulness hung about the building like a magic veil. Beauty entered the system only secondarily, impairing the basic feeling of uncanny sublimity, of sanctification by magic or the gods' nearness. At the most, beauty tempered the dread - but this dread was the prerequisite everywhere. What does the beauty of a building mean to us now?

The same as the beautiful face of a mindless woman: something masklike.”

“...if the old Emperor had been surreptitiously
Smothered; that same crowd in a moment would have hailed
Their new Augustus. They shed their sense of responsibility
Long ago, when they lost their votes, and the bribes; the mob
That used to grant power, high office, the legions, everything,
Curtails its desires and reveals its anxiety for two things only, Bread and circuses.
‘I hear that many will perish.’ ‘No doubt,
The furnace is huge.'”

“As we live and as we are, Simplicity - with a capital "S" - is difficult to comprehend nowadays.

We are no longer truly simple. We no longer live in simple terms or places. Life is a more complex struggle now.

It is now valiant to be simple: a courageous thing to even want to be simple.

It is a spiritual thing to comprehend what simplicity means.”
