One of my primary objects is to form the tools so the tools themselves shall fashion the work and give to every part its just proportion.

I can make just such ones if I had tools, and I could make tools if I had tools to make them with.

What really lies beneath our feet at each moment is not a usefulness, but an inaccessible netherworld that we can use because it is there. It is the Empire of the Capital X.

We have finished the job, what shall we do with the tools?

I have now taken a serious task upon myself and I fear a greater one that is in the power of any man to perform in the given time-but it is too late to go back.

I have always believed that I should have had no difficulty in causing my rights to be respected.
