Quote by Ayn Rand

A building has integrity just like a man. And just as seldom.

A building has integrity just like a man. And just as seldom

Summary

This quote emphasizes the idea that a building, like a person, can possess integrity, which refers to moral uprightness and consistency. However, it suggests that both buildings and individuals with true integrity are rare. Just as it is uncommon to find a person who remains true to their values and principles, the quote suggests that buildings built with enduring quality, character, and adherence to architectural principles are also a rarity. It emphasizes the importance of integrity in construction and human behavior, implying that both should be scrutinized for their authenticity and steadfastness.
