“Literature is painting, architecture, and music.”

“One of the many innovations of modernism was the new demands it placed on the audience. Music, painting, literature, even architecture, would never again be quite so 'easy' as they had been.”

“Literature, at least good literature, is science tempered with the blood of art. Like architecture or music.”

“Every man's work, whether it be literature or music or pictures or architecture or anything else, is always a portrait of himself.”

“The Fine Arts are five in number: Painting, Music, Poetry, Sculpture, and Architecture--whereof the principle branch is Confectionery.”

“The many great gardens of the world, of literature and poetry, of painting and music, of religion and architecture, all make the point as clear as possible: The soul cannot thrive in the absence of a garden. If you don't want paradise, you are not human; and if you are not human, you don't have a soul.”
