The Wayne Education Building was the first classroom building that we have done on the Wayne campus.

In other words, I have no truck for anyone who goes out and does an eclectic building.

And a building must be like a human being. It must have a wholeness about it, something that is very important.

But now I know that it is very important that all buildings should be consistent, that this is the quality of the Gothic cathedral, for instance, that we like.

We build buildings which are terribly restless. And buildings don't go anywhere. They shouldn't be restless.

The purpose of architecture is to create an atmosphere in which man can live, work, and enjoy.

And exciting buildings are fine periodically.

And I feel that we in our society should not be held by any such myth; that we should do everything we can to gain a delight and joy in our society with all the available parts of the palette.

And sometimes I'm criticized. But I think that if those who criticize us will look at the reason why the shape is this, well then, I think that they would not object so strenuously.

And I like the idea of change. Because I don't see why we should hang a painting on the wall and then just not think of it anymore because it's there like a piece of furniture.

Being the gateway to a large city, St. Louis, I had felt from the very beginning that somehow this building should symbolize this sense of being a gateway.

America is like a roomy cage

Free society's organize around the "invisible hand" while Force society's organize around the State's "visible fist.

Even if false gold makes a man happy:At the mint it will be identified.

If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for he isn't fit to live.

No matter what political reasons are given for war, the underlying reason is always economic.

I always wanted to make people feel something.

My apartment is basically a couch, an armchair, and about four thousand books.

I live in a room and I go to work and I play a game called getting through the day while you wait for the night.

The worth of the mind consisteth not in going high, but in marching orderly.

I need to stop carving out four-hour chunks to do random things and go home and watch my children grow up.
