My research is like my feeling directed towards what is the principal value in the life, the poetry.

Genius is personal, decided by fate, but it expresses itself by means of system. There is no work of art without system.

Life never stops. The torment of men will be eternal, unless the function of creating and acting and changing, living intensely through each day, be considered an eternal joy.

By law, all buildings should be white.

Light creates ambience and feel of a place, as well as the expression of a structure.

Architecture is the masterly, correct and magnificent play of masses brought together in light. Our eyes are made to see forms in light; light and shade reveal these forms; cubes, cones, spheres, cylinders or pyramids are the great primary forms which light reveals to advantage; the image of these is distinct and tangible within us without ambiguity. It is for this reason that these are beautiful forms, the most beautiful forms. Everybody is agreed to that, the child, the savage and the metaphysician.

Belgrade is the ugliest city in the world in the most beautiful place in the world.
