"Uttering a word is like striking a note on the keyboard of the imagination." ― Ludwig Wittgenstein Topic(s): Architecture More From Ludwig Wittgenstein "It is so characteristic, that just when the mechanics of reproduction are so vastly improved, there are fewer and fewer people who know how the music should be played." "It seems to me that, in every culture, I come across a chapter headed “Wisdom.” And then I know exactly what is going to follow: “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.”" "I sit astride life like a bad rider on a horse. I only owe it to the horse’s good nature that I am not thrown off at this very moment." More In Architecture "As a designer, the mission with which we have been charged is simple: providing space at the right cost."― Harry von Zell "When I was a little kid, I wrote this play about all these characters living in a haunted house. There was a witch who lived there, and a mummy. When they were all hassling him, this guy who bought the house – I can’t believe I remember this – he said to them, ‘Who’s paying the mortgage on this haunted house?’ I thought that was really funny."― Mindy Kaling "It was the drawing that led me to architecture, the search for light and astonishing forms."― Oscar Niemeyer
