Beauty is the harmony of purpose and 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.

Building art is a synthesis of life in materialised form. We should try to bring in under the same hat not a splintered way of thinking, but all in harmony together.

sometimes words are not big enough to contain all the feelings you are trying to pour into them.

I believe that you should move and eat right.

I just want everyone to know that even though Hogan won at Summerslam I still pinned him 1, 2, 3.

Every man is an original and solitary character. None can either understand or feel the book of his own life like himself.

The principal office of history I take to be this: to prevent virtuous actions from being forgotten, and that evil words and deeds should fear an infamous reputation with posterity.

You never forget your first love.
