When I see architecture that moves me, I hear music in my inner ear

We've been fighting from the beginning for organic architecture. That is, architecture where the whole is to the part as the part is to the whole, and where the nature of materials, the nature of the purpose, the nature of the entire performance becomes a necessity-architecture of democracy.

Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.

When we come to understand architecture as the essential nature of all harmonious structure we will see that it is the architecture of music that inspired Bach and Beethoven, the architecture of painting that is inspiring Picasso as it inspired Velasquez, that it is the architecture of life itself that is the inspiration of the great poets and philosophers.

Democracy is the opposite of totalitarianism, communism, fascism, or mobocracy.

Life always rides in strength to victory, not through internationalism... but only through the direct responsibility of the individual.
