"I want a real revolution, a real change in society: society, a great organic mass of well-regulated ..." — William Morris

So long as the system of competition in the production and exchange of the means of life goes on, the degradation of the arts will go on; and if that system is to last for ever, then art is doomed, and will surely die; that is to say, civilization will die.

I am going, if I can, to be an architect, and I am too old already, and there is no time to lose.

The reward of labour is life. Is that not enough?

Give me love and work - these two only.
