When we build, let us think that we build for ever.

Architecture aims at Eternity.

I like building.

I suppose I'm trying to build an architecture that's as timeless as possible, although we're all creatures of our age.

Together let us desire, conceive, and create the new structure of the future, which will embrace architecture and sculpture and painting in one unity and which will one day rise toward Heaven from the hands of a million workers like the crystal symbol of a new faith.

We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will.

I would like immortality.

What I'm trying to do now in my life - not just with the building, but with everything - is to construct things that will have enduring qualities, and won't just be ephemeral flashes in the pan.

Visualize this thing that you want, see it, feel it, believe in it. Make your mental blue print, and begin to build.
