Quote by Alfred Jarry
We shall not have succeeded in demolishing everything unless we demolish the ruins as well. But the only way I can see of doing that is to use them to put up a lot of fine, well-designed buildings.
Summary
This quote suggests that true progress and success can only be achieved by not only tearing down old and outdated structures but also by rebuilding something new and better in their place. Merely destroying the past is insufficient; utilizing the remnants to construct aesthetically pleasing and functional architecture is the key to transforming ruins into valuable assets. It implies that by preserving the lessons of the past and embarking on constructive endeavors, we can create a future that surpasses the failures of the past.
