"In this state one enriches everything out of one’s own fullness: whatever one sees, whatever one wills, is seen swelled, taut, strong, overloaded with strength. A man in this state transforms things until they mirror his power — until they are reflections of his perfection. This having to transform into perfection is — art. Even everything that he is not yet, becomes for him an occasion of joy in himself; in art man enjoys himself as perfection."
The perfection of a work of art depends on the degree of obedience of its diverse elements to their proper hierarchy.

"Modernist architecture is also truly globalist as it is all the same, all over the world: riveted glass boxes, obtuse shapes, clinical straight lines. These hapless architects all believe they are being new and groundbreaking but this ‘style’ has been unchanged since the middle of the last century."
