If I could only remember that the days were, not bricks to be laid row on row, to be built into a solid house, where one might dwell in safety and peace, but only food for the fires of the heart.

They cannot see that we must lay one brick at a time, take one step at a time.

I have never laid a brick in my life. But my people have laid more bricks than anybody else put together. Because I know how to pay.

These ancient huts were soon cleared of the rubbish covering them. I planned them, and removed them for investigation below, which undertaking took until the fourth of Nov.

I climbed brick facades as a kid. You'd kind of stick your fingers in there.

No man ever wetted clay and then left it, as if there would be bricks by chance and fortune.

As the builders say, the larger stones do not lie well without the lesser.

The early firings contained many stones.

I put those people in place. I trusted them. I had no idea they would do anything like this.

I soon realised that what had happened on a small scale cannot necessarily be repeated on a larger scale. The stones were so big that the amount of heat required was prohibitively expensive and wasteful.
