I think I saw it in a newspaper, but I do not remember it exactly, I do not remember which paper, and not who was credited for the quote - but it went as follows:
Good architecture is to the eye what music is to the ear.- and I remembered it so precisely, because it was so obvious to me. Taste and pleasure can be discussed: some enjoy gothic cathedrals and organ music, while others appreciate electronic music and large glass facades, but in the end, the eye can delight in a beautiful building, just like the ear can find pleasure in a beautiful piece of music - or at least in particularly beautiful details of it. And in the end, it's the brain that feels good in both cases.
