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

I am aware of changes gradually taking place in my own designs as part of my thinking on this matter.

In my opinion, further consideration of those views will help us find a way out of the current impasse, and reveal to us the kinds of buildings and cities required by the informational society.

There is a powerful need for symbolism, and that means the architecture must have something that appeals to the human heart. There is a powerful need for symbolism, and that means the architecture must have something that appeals to the human heart.

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.

The fact is that you're never gonna believe any of the reviews, because the movie is to you what it is to you. No one's ever gonna sway you from what you feel about it.

It takes a very long time to become young.

The soul preserves beauty.

You can't get rid of it with exercise alone. You can do the most vigorous exercise and only burn up 300 calories in an hour. If you've got fat on your body, the exercise firms and tones the muscles. But when you use that tape measure, what makes it bigger? It's the fat!

I'm far too low maintenance to ever spend more than five minutes getting ready to go out.

I think every singer should be able to jump in for a singer who has been sick, for instance, and learn an opera in two days. I know people who can do it.

Study the public behavior of top stars and you can detect a keen attentiveness to brand value.

We have built a genuine level of enthusiasm and goodwill with people throughout this district. People are really excited about the possibilities this election holds, not just for this district, but because of the message Alabama sent to the rest of the country.

There has to be a balance between power and vulnerability. That's something I feel I have in my own life, something I struggle with and - on a good day - like about myself.

I went to SXSW in 2011. God, that was awful. I mean, I only went because my publisher wanted me to promote the book and the organizers invited me and it seemed silly not to go, especially for a relatively unknown first-time author. This is just not my cup of tea; the fewer such events I do on an annual basis, the happier I feel.

Friends are very important to me, and I have always had many of them. There are probably many reasons why this is so, but two seem to me more valid than any of the others I am a naturally friendly person, and I hate to be alone.

I would argue that the objective evidence shows that big government is not a friend to African Americans.

I do actually sing; I love to sing.

Over many generations, fortunes in the business world were made through buying and selling products in physical stores. Internet fortunes have been made buying and selling products online.

I'm an introspective dude.

If you commit a crime you maybe have to be haunted.

People don't realize I'm a very spiritual person.

I prefer physical exhaustion over mental fatigue any day.

Mystery is a resource, like coal or gold, and its preservation is a fine thing.

The issue of assault in the military is something that they've gone to great lengths to try to deal with - and have not entirely dealt with yet.

I don't like the idea of things being off-limits to kids - like a fancy sitting room where they can't touch anything. I own vintage pottery cups, and I let my girls hold them. It teaches them to treat objects with respect.

I realized early on that I always hated girls who used their femininity to get what they wanted.

We all make mistakes, have struggles, and even regret things in our past. But you are not your mistakes, you are not your struggles, and you are here now with the power to shape your day and your future.

There's people making babies to my music. That's nice.
