All Art Is Erotic. The First Ornament

The Work Of Art Shows People New Directions And Thinks Of The Future. The House Thinks Of The Present.

If Nothing Were Left Of An Extinct Race But A Single Button, I Would Be Able To Infer, Form The Shape Of That Button, How These People Dressed, Built Their Houses, How They Lived, What Was Their Religion, Their Art, Their Mentality.

Changes In The Traditional Way Of Building Are Only Permitted If They Are An Improvement. Otherwise Stay With What Is Traditional, For Truth, Even If It Be Hundreds Of Years Old Has A Stronger Inner Bond With Us Than The Lie That Walks By Our Side.

I Have Emerged Victorious From My Thirty Years Of Struggle. I Have Freed Mankind From Superfluous Ornament.

Man Loves Everything That Satisfies His Comfort. He Hates Everything That Wants To Draw Him Out Of His Acquired And Secured Position And That Disturbs Him. Thus He Loves The House And Hates Art.
