Gustave Eiffel Quotes:

Ocupation: Civil engineer

Life: December 15, 1832 - December 27, 1923

Birthday: December 15

Death: December 27

Can one think that because we are engineers, beauty does not preoccupy us or that we do not try to build beautiful, as well as solid and long lasting structures? Aren't the genuine functions of strength always in keeping with unwritten conditions of harmony? ... Besides, there is an attraction, a special charm in the colossal to which ordinary theories of art do not apply.
