“A pair of powerful spectacles has sometimes sufficed to cure a person in love.”

“The greatest cure for love is still that time honoured medicine - love returned.”

“Not necessity, not desire- no, the love of power isthe demon of men.”

“Everyone who has ever built anywhere a new heaven first found the power thereto in his own hell.”

“Love, too, has to be learned.”

“The architect represents neither a Dionysian nor an Apollinian condition: here it is the mighty act of will, the will which moves mountains, the intoxication of the strong will, which demands artistic expression. The most powerful men have always inspired the architects; the architect has always been influenced by power.”

“What else is love but understanding and rejoicing in the fact that another person lives acts and experiences otherwise than we do?”
