We want to create a new man, who will be capable of working with the machine.

The home should be the treasure chest of living.

Standardization does not mean uniformity.

Beauty is not a luxury, but a necessity.

The architect must be a citizen first.

Light, air, and sunshine are the best disinfectants.

Every man builds his world in his own image.

The Bauhaus was born of a passionate desire to bring about a new unity between art and technology.

Architecture is the will of an epoch translated into space.

I believe in the power of simplicity.

The city of the future must be a place for living, not just for working.

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.

The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.

Democracy and architecture are one.

In design, one should not romanticize poverty.

The soul of the building is its function.

Life is too short for bad design.

Education must prepare students for the unknown.
