Nothing old is ever reborn, but neither does it totally disappear. And that which has once been [born], will always reappear in a new form.

Nothing is as dangerous in architecture as dealing with separated problems. If we split life into separated problems we split the possibilities to make good building art.

Form must have a content, and that content must be linked with nature.

Human life is a combination of tragedy and comedy. The shapes and designs that surround us are the music accompanying this tragedy and this comedy.

The ultimate goal of the architect...is to create a paradise. Every house, every product of architecture... should be a fruit of our endeavour to build an earthly paradise for people.

Never make decisions when you are super angry or super excited. When the emotional center is at the Peak the logical awareness is at the bottom!!!

By luck I mean, when opportunity meets preparation.

Vibrations are the key to everything. Atoms used to be, but atoms have quite gone out.

Without will, without individuals, there are no heroes. But neither are there villains. And the absence of villains is as prostrating, as soul-destroying, as the absence of heroes.

[Eva Braun] always said, "you're the Führer, you can do whatever you want to do."

It never was my thinking that made the big money for me. It always was my sitting.

The new rule says that the FBI has the right to go to public places on the same terms and conditions as other members of the public for counterterrorism purposes.

Kinder than is necessary. Because it's not enough to be kind. One should be kinder than needed.

Modern men are afraid of the past. It is a record of human achievement, but its other face is human defeat.
