“I don't believe that classical architecture is enough to engage people...” — Peter Eisenman Quote

“I don't believe that classical architecture is enough to engage people anymore. They say: 'So what else is new?'”

“If you were a son of mine, I wouldn't want you to be an architect, because it's a tough way to be in the world.”

“I use the NordicTrack every other day for 20 minutes. I don't listen to music or watch TV while I do it. I count to myself. I count to 25; I count to 25 backwards, that sort of thing.”

“Architecture has its place in the concrete world. This is where it exists. This is where it makes its statement.”

“As a student, I hadn't really been interested in architecture at all, but when I started teaching, it grew into me - rather than me growing into it.”

“In a way I spend my entire life stealing from everything - from the past, from cities I love, from where I grew up - grabbing things, taking not only from architecture but from Italy, art, writing, poetry, music.”
