Knock and it shall be opened

"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:  For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."

- Matthew 7:7-8

All in all you're just another ashlar in the wall.
