We want to create the purely organic building, boldly emanating its inner laws, free of untruths or ornamentation.

If your contribution has been vital there will always be somebody to pick up where you left off, and that will be your claim to immortality.

The mind is like an umbrella. Its most useful when open.

How can we expect our students to become bold and fearless in thought and action if we encase them in sentimental shrines feigning a culture which has long since disappeared?

Specialists are people who always repeat the same mistakes.

Architects, painters, and sculptors must recognize anew and learn to grasp the composite character of a building both as an entity and in its separate parts. Only then will their work be imbued with the architectonic spirit . . .

A modern building should derive its architectural significance solely from the vigour and consequence of its own organic proportions. It must be true to itself, logically transparent, and virginal of lies or trivialities.
