the House (Piranesi) Quotes

“The House is valuable because it is the House. It is enough in and of Itself. It is not the means to an end.”

“It is my belief that the World (or, if you will, the House, since the two are for all practical purposes identical) wishes an inhabitant for Itself to be a witness to its Beauty and the recipient of its Mercies.”

“The Beauty of the House is immeasurable; its Kindness infinite.”

“It is my belief that the House itself loves and blesses equally everything that it has created. Should I try to do the same?”
