Noël Coward
“LEO MERCURÉ: The Daily Express says (the play)’s disgusting.

GILDA: We should be cut to the quick if it said anything else.”
Noël Coward, Design for Living

Frank Lloyd Wright
“Philip Johnson is a highbrow. A highbrow is a man educated beyond his capacity. His house is a box of glass — not shelter. The meaning of the word shelter includes privacy.”
Frank Lloyd Wright
