Quotes

  • “The quest for our origin is the sweet fruit's juice which maintains satisfaction in the minds of the philosophers.”
  • “The Ancients, having taken into consideration the rigorous construction of the human body, elaborated all their works, as especially their holy temples, according to these proportions; for they found here the two principal figures without which no project is possible: the perfection of the circle, the principle of all regular bodies, and the equilateral square.”
  • “Books should be closed each year, especially in partnership because frequent accounting makes for long friendship.”
