Negro music has touched America because it is the melody of the soul joined with the rhythm of the machine. It is in two part time; tears in the heart; movement of the legs, torso arms and head. The music of the era of construction; innovating. It floods the body and heart; it floods the USA and its floods the world. The jazz is more advanced than the architecture. If architecture were at the point reached by jazz, it would be an incredible spectacle.

Our world, like a charnel-house, is strewn with the detritus of dead epochs.

You know, it is life that is right and the architect who is wrong.

It is a question of building which is at the root of the social unrest of today: architecture or revolution.

The history of architecture is the history of the struggle for light.

The city that has speed has success.

The present moment is creative, creating with an unheard-of intensity.
