- "It is impossible, as impossible as to raise the dead, to restore anything that has ever been great or beautiful in architecture. That which I have insisted upon as the life of the whole, that spirit which is given only by the hand and eye of the workman, can never be recalled."
- "All great and beautiful work has come of first gazing without shrinking into the darkness."
- "The child who desires education will be bettered by it; the child who dislikes it disgraced."
