“It is impossible, as impossible as to raise the dead, to restore anything that has ever been great or beautiful in architecture. That which I have... insisted upon as the life of the whole, that spirit which is given only by the hand and eye of the workman, can never be recalled.”
John Ruskin

Curt Johnson
“Restoring the canyon is no longer an abstract notion now that people can actually experience its beauty.”
