The City Is Like A

Nothing Overshadows Truth So Much As Authority.

Painting Contains A Divine Force Which Not Only Makes Absent Men Present, As Friendship Is Said To Do, But Moreover Makes The Dead Seem Almost Alive.

As Ability Goes, So Goes Our Fortune.

I Will Never Tire Of Recommending The Custom, Practiced By The Best Architects, Of Preparing Not Only Drawings And Sketches, But Also Models Of Wood Or Any Other Material. These... Enable Us To Examine... The Work As A Whole... And, Before Continuing Any Further, To Estimate The Likely Trouble And Expense.

There Is No Art Which Has Not Had Its Beginnings In Things Full Of Errors. Nothing Is At The Same Time Both New And Perfect.
