Vitruvius

"It is no secret that the Moon has no light of her own but is, as it were, a mirror, receiving brightness from the influence of the Sun."

- Vitruvius

"As a building is man’s bodily covering, so architecture is the enclosing envelope of all the arts."

- Vitruvius

"Order and arrangement, symmetry and definiteness, are the qualities that give value to architecture."

- Vitruvius

"An architect’s designs must refer to the unquestionable perfection of the body’s symmetry and proportions. If a building is to create a sense of eurythmy, it is essential that it mirrors these natural laws of harmony and beauty."

- Vitruvius

"Nothing requires the architect’s care more than the due proportions of buildings."

- Vitruvius
