    “A wise architect observed that you could break the laws of architectural art provided you had mastered them first. That would apply to religion as well as to art. Ignorance of the past does not guarantee freedom from its imperfections.”
    —Reinhold Niebuhr (1892–1971)

    “My art and profession is to live.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
