Zitat des Tages von Oscar Niemeyer:
Humanity needs dreams to be able to survive the miseries of daily existence, even if only for an instant.
Surprise is key in all art.
I think of myself as no more than 60. What I could do at 60, I can still do now.
My work is not about 'form follows function,' but 'form follows beauty' or, even better, 'form follows feminine.'
I enter my studio at 9 a.m. I have lunch here, I return right away to my work and I go out to dinner at 8 p.m. My daily tasks vary very much.
I am a Brazilian before I am an architect. I cannot separate the two.
When students leave college, they are like children who know nothing about the problems of life, and don't have a political stance.
I like talking to priests, to Catholics. Everyone has their beliefs.
Architecture is my work, and I've spent my whole life at a drawing board, but life is more important than architecture. What matters is to improve human beings.
The artistic capability of reinforced concrete is so fantastic - that is the way to go.
