If we do not honor our past, we lose our future. If we destroy our roots, we cannot grow.

The straight line is godless and immoral. The straight line is not a creative line, it is a duplicating line, an imitating line.

Visual pollution is more poisonous than any other pollution because it kills the soul.

The straight line leads to the downfall of humanity.
