Instead of using the machine as a metaphor for architecture, as Le Corbusier did, I use the human body. I want the public to know that it's them I'm designing for.

In designing hardware to be used every day, it was important to keep both the human aspects and the machine in mind. What looks good also often feels good

My favorite project is always the next one.

Architecture is not all about the design of the building and nothing else, it is also about the cultural setting and the ambience, the whole affair.

If I have a style, I am not aware of it.

In any architecture, there is an equity between the pragmatic function and the symbolic function.

I have no requirements for a style of architecture.

Architectural and product designs have a narrative capacity - you can start to tell a story about them and imagine a lot of things.

I wouldn't have been a health care nut if it hadn't been for my paralysis, so something good came from this.

I don't care what people call me, labels have the negative value of making smaller boundaries for people.

Unless there is within us that which is above us, we shall soon yield to that which is about us.

I also suspect that many workers in this field [molecular biology] and related fields have been strongly motivated by the desire, rarely actually expressed, to refute vitalism.

Some problems in the world are not bullet-izable.

You must market your marketing.

Transformation is not a future event. It is a present activity.

Wherever there is a jackboot stomping on a human face there will be a well-heeled Western liberal to explain that the face does, after all, enjoy free health care and 100 percent literacy.

The soul - your soul - knows all there is to know all the time. There's nothing hidden to it, nothing unknown. Yet knowing is not enough. The soul seeks to experience.

This is how you communicate with a fellow intelligence: You hurt it, you keep on hurting it, until you can distinguish the speech from the screams.

The nation which can only be saved by one man and wants to be saved that way deserves a whipping!

Anyone who says you can't see a thought simply doesn't know art.
