Quote of Note | Klaus Biesenbach

“I’m from a village where the church comes from the 11th century. As a child, I’d imagine what it must have felt like, a few hundred years earlier, coming to Cologne to see this dome and these stained-glass windows even as everyone for miles around lived in earthen huts. You come into this cathedral and are hit with organ music, incense, colored light, and a skyscraper-tall building—let’s call it architecture or art—but the rest of your existence is lived in a mud shack.
