Ada Louise Huxtable Quotes
In Paris style is everything. That is traditionally understood. Every street, every structure, every shopgirl has style.

There are few violations of this taste, and there is exemplary architectural consistency. Paris has defined the aesthetics of a sophisticated urban culture.
