Entering into the spirit of this interior, you will discover the best possible atmosphere in which to show fine paintings or listen to music. It is this atmosphere that seems to me most lacking in our art galleries, museums, music halls and theaters.

The sense of space within the reality of any building is a new concept wherever architecture is concerned. But it is essential ancient principle just the same and is not only necessary now but implied by the ideal of democracy itself.

To me, young has no meaning. It's something you can do nothing about, nothing at all. But youth is a quality. And if you have it, you never lose it.

Nature is the only body of God that we shall ever see.

The measure of a man's culture is the measure of his appreciation. We are ourselves what we appreciate and no more.

The tall modern office building is the machine pure and simple...the engine, the motor and the battleship the works of the century.

I find that government can be a kind of gangsterism and is in Russia. And is likely to be in America if we don't take care of ourselves pretty carefully.

The thing always happens that you really believe in and the belief in a thing makes it happen.

Architectural features of true democratic ground-freedom would rise naturally from topography, which means that buildings would all take on the nature and character of the ground on which in endless variety they would stand and be component part.

Taste is a matter of ignorance. If you know what you are tasting, you don't have to taste.
