If one hears bad music it is one's duty to drown it by one's conversation.

The end of history will be a very sad time. The struggle for recognition, the willingness to risk one's life for a purely abstract goal, the worldwide ideological struggle that called forth daring, courage, imagination, and idealism, will be replaced by economic calculation, the endless solving of technical problems, environmental concerns, and the satisfaction of sophisticated consumer demands.

The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself.

Architecture is the will of an epoch translated into space.

Every building is a kind of manifesto, a statement about how we should live.

I'm always looking for ways to improve.
