If you ask for all brick, that is all you are going to get. Monotony is a big issue. We don't want every house looking like each other.

The issue has been dealt with and we now move on.

The endurance of monotony has about the same place in a healty mind that the endurance of darkness has: that is to say, as a strong intellect will have pleasure in the solemnities of storm and twilight, and in the broken and mysterious lights that gleam among them, rather than in mere brilliancy and glare, while a frivolous mind will dread the shadow and storm; and as a great man will be ready to endure much darkness of fortune in order to reach greater eminence of power or felicity, while an inferior man will not pay the price; exactly in like manner a great mind will accept, or even delight in, monotony which would be wearisome to an inferior intellect, because it has more patience and power of expectation, and is ready to pay the full price for the great future pleasure of change.

He'll be a force, but obviously it will be a blow if his signature issue goes down in flame.

The questions I ask I am not really supposed to ask. But I would rather be fined for asking too much rather than too little and then have something happen to someone's child.

A vigorous mind shut out from outer stimuli finds in this circumstance the time to develop leisurely, finds a freedom from distraction that leads to clear views of life and a proper expression.
