Summary

This quote suggests that architecture is not solely derived from theoretical concepts and intellectual deliberation. It emphasizes that designing a building is not a cognitive process where one carefully plans and rationalizes every aspect. Instead, it implies that architecture is a creative endeavor that requires more than just thinking; it demands a hands-on approach, intuition, and an understanding of the physical and practical aspects of construction. Architecture originates from a combination of artistic vision, practical considerations, and experiential engagement rather than purely theoretical contemplation.

If there is no struggle there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, and it may be both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.

Internalization. This occurs when you've exploited impact, when you've molded the standard material to your needs and made it yours, when you've made your new skills strong through hard use. All of a sudden these new concepts stopped churning within you, and a new reality is born: You and the concepts are one. They have literally become you. You have become them.

To me, the blues is an infection. I don't think it's necessarily a melancholy thing the blues can be really positive and I think I think anyone and everyone can have a place for the blues. It need not always a woeful, sorrowful thing. It's more reflective it reminds you to feel.
