Greece quotes
" A city on the sea side, exposed to the south or west, will be insalubrious; for in summer mornings, a city thus placed would be hot, at noon it would be scorched. "

Marcus V Pollio
" An easy approach to the walls must be provided against: indeed they should be surrounded by uneven ground, and the roads leading to the gates should be winding and turn to the left from the gates. "

Marcus V Pollio
" Architecture consists of three branches; namely, building, dialling, and mechanics. "

Marcus V Pollio
" Architecture is a science arising out of many other sciences, and adorned with much and varied learning; by the help of which a judgment is formed of those works which are the result of other arts. "

Marcus V Pollio
" Beauty is produced by the pleasing appearance and good taste of the whole, and by the dimensions of all the parts being duly proportioned to each other. "

Marcus V Pollio
" Bodies which contain a greater proportion of water than is necessary to balance the other elements, are speedily corrupted, and lose their virtues and properties. "

Marcus V Pollio
" But I, Caesar, have not sought to amass wealth by the practice of my art, having been rather contented with a small fortune and reputation, than desirous of abundance accompanied by a want of reputation. "

Marcus V Pollio
" Care should be taken that all buildings are well lighted: in those of the country this point is easily accomplished, because the wall of a neighbour is not likely to interfere with the light. "

Marcus V Pollio
" Consistency is found in that work whose whole and detail are suitable to the occasion. It arises from circumstance, custom, and nature. "

Marcus V Pollio
" Dimension regulated the general scale of the work, so that the parts may all tell and be effective. "

Marcus V Pollio
" Economy consists in a due and proper application of the means afforded according to the ability of the employer and the situation chosen; care being taken that the expenditure is prudently conducted. "

Marcus V Pollio
" For an object under the eye will appear very different from the same object placed above it; in an inclosed space, very different from the same in an open space. "

Marcus V Pollio
" From the exterior face of the wall towers must be projected, from which an approaching enemy may be annoyed by weapons, from the embrasures of those towers, right and left. "

Marcus V Pollio
" Harmony is an obscure and difficult musical science, but most difficult to those who are not acquainted with the Greek language; because it is necessary to use many Greek words to which there are none corresponding in Latin. "

Marcus V Pollio
" I am moreover inclined to be concise when I reflect on the constant occupation of the citizens in public and private affairs, so that in their few leisure moments they may read and understand as much as possible. "

Marcus V Pollio
