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.

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

Considerable sacrifices were demanded of the inhabitants of the machine in order that purely abstract formal development... might be carried as far as possible.

Vehement silhouettes of Manhattan - that vertical city with unimaginable diamonds.

The purpose of construction is TO MAKE THINGS HOLD TOGETHER; of architecture TO MOVE US.

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

Architecture is the learned game, correct and magnificent, of forms assembled in the light.
