Howard Finster Well, as far as I'm concerned, I'm not here to live a normal life. I'm sent here on a mission. Howard Finster When I'm building my dome in my chapel, and I had a vision - I've worked on perpetual motion and I haven't never give it up yet. I still think it could be done, perpetual motion. I had a vision of a un resist able windmill. Howard Finster When I'm makin' lectures to these universities, I tell 'em I like that little building because when I run short a audience, if I can get three people in there I've got a good crowd. Howard Finster You can't smear acrylics, you know, it dries too fast. Howard Finster You know, I been accused - people call me crazy like they did Noah, you know.
