“The work of art shows people new directions and thinks of the future.”

The work of art is brought into the world without there being a need for it.

Changes in the traditional way of building are only permitted if they are an improvement.

The Potemkin city of which I wish to speak here is none other than our dear Vienna herself.

A vertical stroke: the male who penetrates her.

The house satisfies a requirement.

Man loves everything that satisfies his comfort.

All art is erotic.

The work of art is responsible to none; the house is responsible to everyone.

The room has to be comfortable; the house has to look habitable.

Be truthful. Nature only sides with truth.

The house thinks of the present.

Supply and demand regulate architectural form.

He hates everything that wants to draw him out of his acquired and secured position and that disturbs him.

The work of art wants to draw people out of their state of comfort.
