Science Quotes by Claude F. Bragdon (2 quotes)
Architecture is geometry made visible in the same sense that music is number made audible.
— Claude F. Bragdon
In The Beautiful Necessity: Seven Essays on Theosophy and Architecture (1910),
Art is an expression of the world order and is, therefore, orderly, organic, subject to mathematical law, and susceptible to mathematical analysis.
— Claude F. Bragdon
In 'The Theosophic View of the Art of Architecture', The Beautiful Necessity, Seven Essays on Theosophy and Architecture (2nd ed., 1922), Preface to the Second Edition, 11.
In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.
