John Ruskin:
"For, indeed, the greatest glory of a building is not in its stones, not in its gold. Its glory is in its Age, and in that deep sense of voicefulness, of stern watching, of mysterious sympathy, nay, even of approval or condemnation, which we feel in walls that have long been washed by the passing waves of humanity.”
I believe somewhere John Ruskin asserted that a building does not reach its pinnacle of aesthetic beauty until about 500 years of age.
