Reclaiming Classical Design Quotes

“The modern architects are incorrect in their thinking. Ornament is not a crime. It is tactile, invigorating, life-sustaining, and human.”
― Kristen Wagner, Reclaiming Classical Design: Reflections on the Harmonious and Beautiful Building

“The grand purpose of the classically built environment, ultimately, is to propel us out of our finite selves and into the limitlessness of the divine cosmos, to shatter our pretenses and present to us a whole new way of thinking about the meaning of life itself.”
― Kristen Wagner, Reclaiming Classical Design: Reflections on the Harmonious and Beautiful Building
