->''People seem to think they should lock-pick or kick their way through solid doors rather than just take a ten-dollar drywall knife and carve whole new hallways into the world. Those people are mere slaves to architecture, spatial captives in a world someone else has designed for them.''

''Surely if someone were to rob the place, they'd come in as respectable people would, through the door provided for the purpose.'' Maybe that explains why people will have four heavy-duty locks on a solid oak door that's right next to a glass window.''
