“…the fruitfulness of an action is not as much assessed from what was originally defined as the objective of that action as from the successive means leading to its achievement. The core of the matter is not so much a clear and immediate response as the aptness of the attitudes and actions chosen. For aptness is what will turn a strain in keeping to life development into a stirring evidence. If means and resources are judiciously implemented, the ultimate objective becomes temporarily obvious while its achievement – or else another achievement - derives necessarily”.
By Jean Robichez (1907-1991), a master in marble sculpting to me.
