the wall, the column

"The wall did well for man. In its thickness and its strength, it protected man against destruction. But soon, the will to look out made man make a hole in the wall, and the wall was pained, and said, "What are you doing to me? I protected you; I made you feel secure - and now you put a hole through me!" And man said, "But I see wonderful things, and I want to look out." And the wall felt very sad."

- Louis I. Kahn, Between Silence and Light

If one day, I could learn to express my thoughts so beautifully into words, I shall be very happy indeed.
