After that I don't care if I live on this spot until we know each other by the inch, before I begin building my home.

At the present minute it appeals to me that 'home' is about the best word in the language of any nation.

I have a feeling that what I build here is going to be my home, very possibly the only one I shall ever have.

We must find the spot on which the Lord intended that a house should grow on this hillside, and then we must build that house so that it has a room suitable for a workshop in which I may strive, under the best conditions possible, to get my share of the joy of life and to earn the money that I shall require to support me and entertain my friends; and that sounds about as selfish as anything possibly could.

It seems to be mostly 'me' and 'mine,' and it's not the real truth concerning this house.
