Geometry is to the plastic arts what grammar is to the art of the writer.
La géométrie est aux arts plastiques ce que la grammaire est à l'art de l'écrivain.

More quotes by Guillaume Apollinaire

Beyond the reach of grammarians
And love runs down like this
Water, love runs down.
How slow life is,
How violent hope is.
