I am convinced that a good building must be capable of absorbing the traces of human life and taking on a specific richness... I think of the patina of age on materials, of innumerable small scratches on surfaces, of varnish that has grown dull and brittle, and of edges polished by use.Peter Zumthor
There are periods in history when change is necessary, and other periods when it is better to keep everything for the time as it is. The art of life is to be in the rhythm of your age.Oswald Mosley
Every age has its own poetry; in every age the circumstances of history choose a nation, a race, a class to take up the torch by creating situations that can be expressed or transcended only through poetry.Jean-Paul Sartre

I have often called attention to the fact that walking through the streets in the Middle Ages was a different experience from nowadays.

Fellow citizens, we cannot escape history. We, of this Congress and this administration, will be remembered in spite of ourselves.

I have nothing against respecting people who lived before, but we have no responsibility toward them.Leon Kass
