The life of a man who deliberately runs through his fortune often becomes a business speculation his friends his pleasures patrons and acquaintances are his capital.
There will never be great architects or great architecture without great patrons.
I cannot live under pressures from patrons let alone paint.
When things are bad we take comfort in the thought that they could always get worse. And when they are we find hope in the thought that things are so bad they have to get better.
