The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization.

More and more, so it seems to me, light is the beautifier of the building.

I'm against war. Always have been, always will be. And everything connected with it, is anathema to me. I have never considered it necessary.

The sense of space within the reality of any building is a new concept wherever architecture is concerned. But it is essential ancient principle just the same and is not only necessary now but implied by the ideal of democracy itself.

Architecture is the triumph of human imagination over materials, methods, and men, to put man into possession of his own earth

An idea is salvation by imagination.

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