I have only one dream. It is the oldest of humanity, of man, in time. It is paradise. I would like to give paradise to everyone.

If a man could pass through Paradise in a dream, and have a flower presented to him as a pledge that his soul had really been there, and if he found that flower in his hand when he awake - Aye, what then?

Don't dream it, be it.

We have big, big problems - flooding, earthquake, and many foolish things which now people are doing - I mean, these self-made catastrophes. We are able to give to every man on the street the possibilities to help himself. And to fight for this was one of my duties.

Buildings are 'humane' only when they promote peaceful human co-existence.

If you dream it, it can happen.
