The Archive is the collection of all material traces left behind by a particular historical period and culture which one can use to deduce a historical a priori.

Archive is a kind of thought in which the eye goes beyond things to visibilities and language goes beyond words to utterances.

A Garden is simple to make — you need only a piece of land and eternity.

The Garden is the best place to seek god. You can dig for him there.

A Garden is a thing we cultivate, and it cultivates us.

The Garden is the poor man's apothecary.

An Institution is the lengthened shadow of one man; all history resolves itself easily into the biography of a few stout and earnest persons.

The Institution is necessary to the nation — Individuals may form communities, but it is institutions alone that can create a nation.

The Institution is what springs up where there is a lull of truth, just as a snow-drift is formed where there is a lull in the wind.

An Institution is the lengthened shadow of one man; as, the Reformation, of Luther; Quakerism, of Fox; Methodism, of Wesley, Abolition, of Clarkson.
