Be truthful. Nature only sides with truth.

The house has to please everyone, contrary to the work of art which does not. The work is a private matter for the artist. The house is not.

The work of art is brought into the world without there being a need for it. The house satisfies a requirement. The work of art is responsible to none; the house is responsible to everyone. The work of art wants to draw people out of their state of comfort.

The room has to be comfortable; the house has to look habitable.

Tattooed men who are not behind bars are either latent criminals or degenerate aristocrats. If someone who is tattooed dies in freedom, then he does so a few years before he would have committed murder.

The work of art shows people new directions and thinks of the future. The house thinks of the present.

The house has to serve comfort. The work of art is revolutionary; the house is conservative.
