Gilbert K. Chesterton: "A building is akin to dogma; it is insolent, like dogma. Whether or not it is permanent, it claims permanence, like dogma. People ask why we have no typical architecture of the modern world, like impressionism in painting. Surely it is obviously because we have not enough dogmas; we cannot bear to see anything in the sky that is solid and enduring, anything in the sky that does not change like the clouds of the sky."
