Freedom in art freedom in society this is the double goal towards which all consistent and logical minds must strive.
I strive for an architecture from which nothing can be taken away.
Fail I alone in words and deeds? Why all men strive and who succeeds?
To have striven to have made the effort to have been true to certain ideals - this alone is worth the struggle.
You are capable of more than you know. Choose a goal that seems right for you and strive to be the best however hard the path. Aim high. Behave honorably. Prepare to be alone at times and to endure failure. Persist! The world needs all you can give.
