Philip Johnson (8 July 1906 - January 26, 2005) American architect
- "Architecture is the art of how to waste space."
- "Architecture is basically the design of interiors, the art of organizing interior space."
- "The people with money to build today are corporations -- they are our popes and Medicis. The sense of pride is why they build."
- "I am a whore and I am paid very well for high-rise buildings."
- "I like the thought that what we are to do on this earth is embellish it for its greater beauty so that oncoming generations can look back to the shapes we leave here and get the same thrill that I get in looking back at theirs -- at the Parthenon, at Chartres Cathedral."
