Cathedrals Quotes - Page 3

• All over France, in every city there stand cathedrals like this one, triumphant monuments of the past. They tower over the homes of our people like mighty guardians, keeping alive the invincible faith of the Christian. Every arch, every column, every statue is a carved leaf out of our history, a book in stone, glorifying the spirit of France.

• For me, the reason why people go to a mountaintop or go to the edge of the ocean is to look at something larger than themselves. That feeling of awe, of going to a cathedral, it's all about feeling lost in something bigger than oneself. To me, that's the definition of spectacle.

• Hace unos minutos todos los árboles estaban excitados, inclinándose ante la rugiente tormenta, agitándose, arremolinándose, agitando sus ramas en un glorioso entusiasmo como adoración. Pero aunque para el oído externo estos árboles están ahora en silencio, sus canciones nunca cesan. Cada célula oculta palpita con música y vida, cada fibra se estremece como las cuerdas de un arpa, mientras el incienso fluye sin cesar de las campanas y las hojas del bálsamo. No es de extrañar que las colinas y arboledas fueran los primeros templos de Dios, y cuanto más se talan y tallan en catedrales e iglesias, más lejano y tenue parece el Señor mismo.

• Mountains are cathedrals: grand and pure, the houses of my religion. I go to them as humans go to worship...From their lofty summits, I view my past, dream of the future, and with unusual acuity I am allowed to experience the present moment. My strength renewed, my vision cleared, in the mountains I celebrate creation. On each journey I am reborn.
