A structure becomes architectural, and not sculptural, when its elements no longer have their justification in nature. – Guillaume Apollinaire
Come to the edge, He said. They said, We are afraid. Come to the edge, He said. They came. He pushed them… and they flew. – Guillaume Apollinaire
Now and then its good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy. – Guillaume Apollinaire
To insist on purity is to baptize instinct, to humanize art, and to deify personality. – Guillaume Apollinaire
