Quotes by Henri Focillon (?)

“Classicism, a brief, perfectly balanced instant of complete possession of forms; not a slow and monotonous application of ‘rules,’ but a pure, quick delight, like the acme of the Greeks, so delicate that the pointer of the scale scarcely trembles …”
― Henri Focillon, The Life of Forms in Art

“Pero es claro que son las experiencias, estimuladas por el instinto de la búsqueda y de la creación, las que enriquecen y renuevan la historia. Son las experiencias las que, si así puede decirse, inician el futuro. Están hechas de tanteos, de falta de matización, de errores, no siempre son afortunadas, pero sin ellas la matería histórica se agotaría rápidamente, sin ellas no habría historia, sino cambios estériles entre formas inertes de conservadurismo.”
― Henri Focillon, El año mil

“Moralement une depuis des siècles, la grande Roumanie contemporaine ne nous présente pas une improvisation de la culture, mais un présent et un passé qui se complètent. Elle n’est pas pure construction politique, système d’idées, mais puissance d’équilibre et d’invention, indispensable à la communauté européenne et chère aux amitiés françaises.”
― Henri Focillon
