The tall modern office building is the machine pure and simple...the engine, the motor and the battleship the works of the century.

The architect should strive continually to simplify; the ensemble of the rooms should then be carefully considered that comfort and utility may go hand in hand with beauty.

I have been black and blue in some spot, somewhere, almost all my life from too intimate contacts with my own furniture.

Why, I just shake the buildings out of my sleeves.

Self fulfilling prophecies do exist in real life

It is where life is fundamental and free that men develop the vision needed to reveal the human soul in the blossoms it puts forth.

If you foolishly ignore beauty, then you will soon find yourself without it.
