Beautiful buildings are more than scientific. They are true organisms, spiritually conceived; works of art, using the best technology by inspiration rather than the idiosyncrasies of mere taste or any averaging by the committee mind.

Architecture is for the young. If our teenagers don't get architecture - if they are not inspired, (then) we won't have the architecture that we must have if this country is going to be beautiful.

A building is not just a place to be but a way to be.

Every great architect is - necessarily - a great poet. He must be a great original interpreter of his time, his day, his age.

By playing down to the idea of the common man, dogmatic political authority exploits him... So the ideal of innate aristocracy of which hour forefathers dreamed is betrayed for votes in the name of democracy.

When anyone becomes an authority, that is the end of him as far as development is concerned.

Buildings, too, are children of Earth and Sun.
