Not only is it better, but also truer to dream of Bordeaux than to be in Bordeaux.

I make no distinction between the reality that exists and the dream of reality that does not exist.

As long as I only dream an idea and not try to put it on paper, it is perfect. With every simple action, a spiritual secret is violated. Every action is a revolutionary act. Acting means separating from the right idea.

I have never wished for anything else but the unimaginable.

Always consider yourself sadder and unhappier than you are. That does not hurt. Imagination is a bit like a ladder to the perfect dream.

You also have to want, whatever it may be. Success is in the success, not in the opportunity to succeed. Act! Any larger land is a possible location for a palace, but unless it has been built there, it will not exist. We live by our will, which leads to action. All those who cannot want...

Always consider yourself sadder and unhappier than you are. That does not hurt. Imagination is a bit like a ladder to the perfect dream.

Everything in me tends to go on and become something else, a growing unrest all the time. Everything captivates me and nothing stops me.

An unfinished work could be bad, a never begun one is even worse. A work that has been completed has been created at least. It exists, though miserable.

the own work, project, resembles a confession. The work will be displayed to the public so that it judges it. Expression of one’s own feelings, thoughts, truths or beliefs. The architect undresses and shows himself naked. The honest, sincere presentation of one’s own ideas and values is stronger, more authentic than the comedy of acquiring strange ideas and ideas that can only partially coincide with one’s own convictions. It is always about revealing the secrets to the audience, specifically about the disclosure of the idea or the concept behind the work (project). It’s about the revelation and confession of a secret. At the same time, the revelation itself becomes art. (Montaigne)

Leitkultur - political and moral aspects are above the aesthetics, which is sacrificed to the material, with the result that mediocrity prevails too often. Conversely, these are exalted architectural phenomena. “The worst thing, though, are the little thoughts. Truly better done wrong than thought small! “ No betrayal of moral values! Being openly and clearly committed to principles leads to calculability and reliability.

“Do you want to burn yourself in your own flame: How do you want to be new, if you did not become ash first?” “The worst thing, though, are the little thoughts. Truly better done wrong than thought small!“.
