Excerpt from On Restoration: And a Notice of His Works in Connection With the Historical Monuments of France

The Arts never die. Their principles remain true for all time, because humanity is always the same. However its customs and institutions may be modified, its intellectual constitution is unchanged: - its faculty of reasoning, its instincts and sensations proceed from the same source now as they did twenty centuries ago. It is moved by the same desires and the same passions, while the various languages it employs do but enable It to express in every age the same ideas, and to call for the satisfaction on the same wants. - Viollet-Le-Duc.
