A building should be a fragment of the city, not an isolated object.
I'm not interested in the isolated object. I'm interested in the relationship between objects.
"A personality is a full congress of orators and pressure groups, of children, demagogues, communists, isolationists, war mongers, mugwumps, grafters, prayer-makers, adventurers and clerks; with each of these in a minority of one."
"Technology has made us more connected, yet we have never been more isolated."
The crowd is always intellectually inferior to the isolated individual.
The power elite are not solitary rulers. Advisors and consultants, spokesmen and opinion-makers, are often the captains of their higher thought and decision.
Facts do not speak for themselves. They speak for or against competing theories. Facts divorced from theories or visions are mere isolated curiosities.
