“Razumem ja to, da Beograd mora da stigne evropske prestonice. Ali, ne može se nikada vek preskakati godinom. Ne može se pet godina stavljati uz pet vekova. Moraju tu proći decenije. Najmanje možemo vekove određivati spratovima. Žurba je veliki saveznik kajanja. Ne smemo dozvoliti da naši graditelji mrze svoj grad. Baš zato što ide iza drugih gradova, Beograd ne sme da ponavlja njihove greške. Mora se prostor prvo navići na čoveka. Ne može se, tek tako, izaći na ledinu i podići tek tako deo grada. Ako pristanem na haos, haos će zavladati mnome.”

“Ne treba jednu knjigu jednom pročitati i baciti je ustranu, već je potrebno ponekad iznova je pročitati. Prvi uvjet učenja i pamćenja je ponavljanje. Naše nezapamćivanje svega što čitamo i vidimo je jedna psihološka i fiziološka činjenica. Jedna knjiga je poput grada; prošetati se kroz njega samo jednom, ponekad nije dovoljno. Ako je moguće, treba ostati malo u gradu i bilo bi korisno iznova pažljivo prošetati kroz neka njegova važna mjesta.”
