“All over France, in every city there stand cathedrals like this one, triumphant monuments of the past.

Every arch, every column, every statue is a carved leaf out of our history, a book in stone, glorifying the spirit of France.”
—Sonya Levien (1895–1960)

“The rays which stream through the shutter will be no longer remembered when the shutter is wholly removed.”
