Quotes
- In Prague classical architecture becomes romantic, and romantic architecture absorbs the classical characters to endow the earth with a particular kind of surreal humanity. Both become cosmic, not in the sense of abstract order, but as spiritual aspiration. Evidently Prague is one of the great meeting-places where a multitude of meanings are gathered.
- Christian Norberg-Schulz, Genius Loci: Towards a Phenomenology of Architecture (1980), p. 83.
