Tradition can, to be sure, participate in a creation, but it can no longer be creative itself.

Architects today tend to depreciate themselves, to regard themselves as no more than just ordinary citizens without the power to reform the future.

I feel however, that we architects have a special duty and mission... (to contribute) to the socio-cultural development of architecture and urban planning.

Nevertheless, the basic forms, spaces, and appearances must be logical.

Designs of purely arbitrary nature cannot be expected to last long.

Technological considerations are of great importance to architecture and cities in the informational society.

Tradition can to be sure participate in a creation but it can no longer be creative itself.

You put an old Misfits record on, and it sounds like it came out yesterday.

Life is like a story, when all the resolution is resolved, you heave a sigh of relief.

The idea is not enough. And the most annoying thing for me as a writer is that people will come up to me and say, 'Hey, I've got a great idea for a book. I'm not a writer, but I've got a great story.'

It's better to think of life as a proper journey with a beginning and an end. Maybe, I can settle for being immortalised on screen.

My freshman year of high school, I started wrestling, and I ended up loving it more than anything I'd ever done.

When a director is also a writer, everyone on the production looks to him, knowing he gave birth to the idea. There's a different level of viability.

Directing is something I've sort of always felt like I'd like to do at one point, and I thought the best way to start it is to write something myself or with someone and I'd go from there. My own material.

I love 'Modern Family;' I don't exactly watch it when it's on, but I try to catch up on it when I can; it's one of my favorite shows.

I've been approached by many different people, but I don't really want to be known as a collaboration dude.

I believe that nothing enjoys a higher estate in our society than the right given by the First and Fourteenth Amendments freely to practice and proclaim one's religious convictions.

Just the fact that that Europe album 'The Final Countdown' came out in 1986 and 'Rad' came out in 1986... I'm starting to think that maybe 1986 is my favorite year, of all time!

I'm on my boat, training, rehearsing; I spend all my energy on the job that's coming up, and I found that's the way that works for me. The more energy you have on set, the better you'll be; it's all about being alive in that moment and listening.

I'm not hip, I'm not cool, I'm not glib.

The decisive moment in the defeat of upper class, capital-S, Society may have come when, in newspapers all over the nation, what used to be call the Society page was replaced by the Style section.

Since Hiroshima and the Holocaust, science no longer holds its pristine place as the highest moral authority. Instead, that role is taken by human rights. It follows that any assault on Jewish life - on Jews or Judaism or the Jewish state - must be cast in the language of human rights.

Teenagers would rather text than talk. They feel calls would reveal too much.

Since all life is futility, then the decision to exist must be the most irrational of all.

I'm trying to learn to smoke, which is rather weird when everyone is trying to stop. I'm not a smoker. But my character only smokes as an affectation.
