The room has to be comfortable; the house has to look habitable.

The house has to serve comfort. The work of art is revolutionary; the house is conservative.

The Potemkin city of which I wish to speak here is none other than our dear Vienna herself.

Lack of ornamentation is a sign of spiritual strength.

The work of art is brought into the world without there being a need for it. The house satisfies a requirement. The work of art is responsible to none; the house is responsible to everyone. The work of art wants to draw people out of their state of comfort.

Tattooed men who are not behind bars are either latent criminals or degenerate aristocrats. If someone who is tattooed dies in freedom, then he does so a few years before he would have committed murder.

The room has to be comfortable; the house has to look habitable.
