I like talking to priests, to Catholics. Everyone has their beliefs.

My work is not about "form follows function," but "form follows beauty" or, even better, "form follows feminine."

The architect's role is to fight for a better world, where he can produce an architecture that serves everyone and not just a group of privileged people.

Today, architecture is invention. It isn't enough to just be rational - It must also be beautiful.

What attracts me are free and sensual curves. The curves we find in mountains, in the waves of the sea, in the body of the woman we love.

The rule is the worst thing. You just want to break it.

Curves are the essence of my work because they are the essence of Brazil, pure and simple.

When you have a large space to conquer, the curve is the natural solution.

My architecture is easy to understand. And enjoy. I hope it also is hard to forget.

A lake is a landscape's most beautiful and expressive feature. It is Earth's eye

Life - Don't waste it!

The cherished dream of every chessplayer is to play a match with the World Champion. But here is the paradox: the closer you come to the realization of this goal, the less you think about it.

Golfers don't fist fight. They cuss a bit. But they wouldn't punch anything or anybody. They might hurt their hands and have to change their grip.

You are not copying nature, but responding to nature in full awareness, to the way nature expresses itself in that object.

Words There is no good father, that's the rule. Don't lay the blame on men but on the bond of paternity, which is rotten. To beget children, nothing better; to have them, what iniquity!

We tend to view confidence as a product of accomplishment rather than part of the process that leads there. But supremely confident people were confident long before they achieved anything.

When stepping into the mind of a psychopath, you realize that there is something missing in their brain that they do not understand the consequences of their actions- in a sense.

Being is only Being for Dasein.

It's always nice when two people who don't got no one else find each other as friends.
