quote kai drtv digitalrev kai wong creativity photography

Think of a car driving through the night.

Why? Because on June 7th 1926, the architect, Antoni Gaudi — whose beard was also brown, pointy, weird, and unfinished was run-over by a bus. And so, his greatest master piece would remain forever unfinished.

Gaudi, to his credit never gave up on his dream. But that’s not usually how it goes. I mean, usually it isn’t the speeding bus that keeps the brown, pointy, weird church from getting built. Most of the time it’s just too difficult, or too expensive, or too scary.

It’s only once you’ve stopped that you realized how hard it is to start again. So you force yourself not to want it. But it’s always there and until you finish it, it will always be…”
