May I say, finally, that I have no illusions of grandeur; quite to the contrary, I am very humble in my knowledge that through forty years of my life my life has been an open book of service to my fellow architects and for the public good.

I completely scorn the falsifying, the sanctimonious, the cheap and the shoddy.
