The Japanese put houses in among the trees and allowed nature to gain the ascendancy in any composition.

Houses mean a creation, something new, a shelter freed from the idea of a cave.

In the Scottish Orkneys, the little stone houses with their single large room and central hearth had an extraordinary range of built-in furniture.

The mystery is what prompted men to leave caves, to come out of the womb of nature.

My uncle works in the prison, so he's still there and he said a lot of the houses are straight. My sister's house had a tree fall on it, but it didn't do too much damage. It's nothing we can't rebuild. You can't replace a life, but you can replace the houses and the fences.
