The insolence of authority is endeavoring to substitute money for ideas.

TV is chewing gum for the eyes.

The present is the ever moving shadow that divides yesterday from tomorrow. In that lies hope.

A civilization is only a way of life. A culture is the way of making that way of life beautiful. So culture is your office here in America, and as no stream can rise higher than its source, so you can give no more or better to architecture than you are. So why not go to work on yourselves, to make yourselves, in quality, what you would have your buildings be?

No stream rises higher than its source. What ever man might build could never express or reflect more than he was. He could record neither more nor less than he had learned of life when the buildings were built.

Human beings can be beautiful. If they are not beautiful it is entirely their own fault. It is what they do to themselves that makes them ugly.

Bureaucrats: they are dead at 30 and buried at 60. They are like custard pies; you can't nail them to a wall.
