"When we build, let us think that we build forever. Let it not be for present delight nor for our use alone. Let it be such work as our descendants will look upon with praise and thanksgiving in their hearts."
- John Ruskin, The Seven Lamps of Architecture, chapter IV, “The Lamp of Memory,” section 10, 1849.
