“If you are in a shipwreck and all the boats are gone, a piano top buoyant enough to keep you afloat that comes along makes a fortuitous life preserver. But this is not to say that the best way to design a life preserver is in the form of a piano top.”
“I think that we cling to a great many piano tops in accepting yesterday’s contrivings as the only means for solving a given problem.”

“We need a design revolution by scientists and architects versus world revolution by political leadership.”
“We must each opt for integrity or we are through completely. It is absolutely touch and go. Each one of us could make the difference.”
“Only the free-wheeling artist-explorer, non-academic, scientist-philosopher, mechanic, economist-poet who has never waited for patron-starting and accrediting of his co-ordinate capabilities holds the prime initiative today.”
“I am enthusiastic over humanity’s extraordinary and sometimes very timely ingenuity.”
“The minute you choose to do what you really want to do, it’s a different kind of life.”
“We must each opt for integrity or we are through completely. It is absolutely touch and go. Each one of us could make the difference.”
