German poet Heinrich Heine was once asked why men no longer build cathedrals. He replied:
“People in those old times had convictions; we moderns only have opinions. And it needs more than a mere opinion to erect a Gothic cathedral.”
Cologne Cathedral took 632 years to complete. Does modern man have the necessary conviction to build something like this today?
