We live technologically, with man as the master of nature, man as the engineer, and let anyone who raises his voice against it stop using bridges not built by nature.... No electric light bulbs, no engines, no atomic energy, no calculating machines, no anaesthetics-back to the jungle.

I live, like every real man, in my work.

Travelling, gentlemen, is medieval, today we have means of communication, not to speak of tomorrow and the day after, means of communication that bring the world into our homes, to travel from one place to another is atavistic.

If the going is getting too easy, maybe you're going downhill!

My greatest fear: repetition.

Nothing is harder than to accept oneself.

If you criticize what you’re doing too early you’ll never write the first line.
