—Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
“All fine architectural values are human vales, else not valuable.”
—Frank Lloyd Wright (1869–1959)
“Science has nothing to be ashamed of even in the ruins of Nagasaki. The shame is theirs who appeal to other values than the human imaginative values which science has evolved.”
