“Brian, The Fountainhead Note actually made tears well up and gave me goose bumps. Outstanding!! ... As an analytical lover of the arts I always notice composition and structure.

"Men are born soft and supple; dead, they are stiff and hard. Plants are born tender and pliant; dead, they are brittle and dry. Thus whoever is stiff and inflexible is a disciple of death.
