We would rather see London laid in ruins and ashes than that it should be tamely and abjectly enslaved.

We make our buildings and afterwards they make us. They regulate the course of our lives.

It is my belief, you cannot deal with the most serious things in the world unless you understand the most amusing.

I always like to learn, but I don't always like to be taught.

Fancy living in one of these streets, never seeing anything beautiful, never eating anything savoury, never saying anything clever!

I have lived seventy-eight years without hearing of bloody places like Cambodia.

Do what you like, but like what you do.
