Any friends who say they are too busy to think about architecture will be brought to my architectural “happy place” – whether that’s the grand hall at Union Station or a friend’s arts-and-crafts living room – and then asked if they don’t feel inspired.
I am, of all who were ever born, the most inclined to love persons. Whenever I behold someone who possesses any talent or displays any dexterity of mind, who can do or say something more appropriately than the rest of the world, I am compelled to fall in love with him, and then I give myself away to him so entirely that I am no longer my own property, but wholly his.
Michelangelo, quote found in Theodore Zeldin’s An Intimate History of Humanity (via malevichsquare)
This is the most appropriate quote I have ever read. Explains my complexity in a nutt shell.
