" And we are only free, and have the quality without a name in us , when we give up the images which guide our lives....

The fear of being just exactly what one is, of letting the forces flow freely; of letting the configuration of one's person adjust truly to these forces....

And yet, until one does let go, it is impossible to be alive. ...

The infinite variety of actual people, with their vastly and utterly different forces, require a huge creation, to find the resolution of the person: and in finding this resolution truly, one must above all be free of stereotpyes."

The Timeless Way of Building
