For the purpose of seeing it erected as I designed it

His truth was his only motive.

From the simplest necessity to the highest abstraction

No man can use his brain to think for another

No man can use his lungs to breathe for another man.

We inherit the products of the thought of other men

But all learning is only the exchange of material.

There is no such thing as a collective brain

The basic need of the creator is independence

These Quotes out of Howard Roark’s Courtroom Speech in “The Fountainhead” by Ayn Rand

Are also used as titles for the series of collages belonging to “Who needs it".
