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

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.

It was the drawing that led me to architecture, the search for light and astonishing forms.

Life is more important than architecture.

We need to feel that life is important; we need that fantasy so we can live a little better.

Yes, in spite of all, Some shape of beauty moves away the pall From our dark spirits.

Make every moment last forever, because nothing else does.

The God of Battles will throw the dice that decide.

The spiritual sense of our place in nature... can be traced to the origins of human civilization... The last vestige of organized goddess worship was eliminated by Christianity.

Nowhere on the planet, nowhere in history, was there a regime more vicious, more bloodthirsty, and at the same time more cunning than the Bolshevik, the self-styled Soviet regime.

Revolting means for good ends make the ends of themselves revolting.

If you're hanging out with two negative people, do they equal one positive person?

I don't think comedians make an active decision to be a certain "persona." Comedians write the way they're going to write.

I'm encouraging other people, whether they're professionals or not, to use their creativity to express themselves, to get a conversation going, to get the party started, really.

My grief lies all within, And these external manners of lament Are merely shadows to the unseen grief That swells with silence in the tortured soul.
