#3Pretty incredible the size of it and how much he built. Not what I would have chosen to dedicate my life to but he lived his whole life working towards a goal without distractions. Seems like just as good a life as could be hoped for, hope that he died satisfied, all anyone can really ask from life.

#7What a fantastically written article. Justo ultimately passing away without completing the cathedral is tragic to me, but I have to say that it is fitting with his beliefs. I wonder what he would have done had he managed to finish it, or if he ever had any intention of declaring it as finished at all.

#8Of all the virtues and vices we humans possess, the stubborn pursuit of a singular, outlandish idea may just be my favorite.

I didn’t realize it had burned until I just looked it up. It was really cool when I visited it sometime around 2007 I guess…
