Man loves to construct and lay down roads, no question about it. But why is he so passionately fond of destruction and chaos? {...} Isn't man so passionately fond of destruction and chaos {and there's no disputing that he's sometimes very fond of them, that really is the case} that he himself instinctively fears achieving his goal and completing the building in the course of erection? How do you know - perhaps he only likes the building from a distance and not at all at close quarters; perhaps he only likes building it and not living in it {...}
