More From Adolf Loos

The work of art is brought into the world without there being a need for it. the house satisfies a requirement. the work of art is responsible to none; the house is responsible to everyone. the work of art wants to draw people out of their state of comfort.

Nobody wants somebody who wants them for what they have or the position their in- you want somebody who wants you for you. in case it all goes crazy and it all turns to dust. i want somebody who loves me in the welfare line, eating gumbo, eating fish,black eyed peas and rice. i want somebody that loves me. god wants you to love him, not his cars, not his house, not his blessing- love him.
Crazy Blessing Dust
You know what i am going to say. i love you. what other men may mean when they use that expression, i cannot tell. what i mean is that i am under the influence of some tremendous attraction which i have resisted in vain, and which overmasters me. you could draw me to fire, you could draw me to water, you could draw me to the gallows, you could draw me to any death, you could draw me to anything i have most avoided, you could draw me to any exposure and disgrace. this and the confusion of my thoughts, so that i am fit for nothing, is what i mean by your being the ruin of me.

Sweet Tree Fool
It is neither art for art, nor art against art. i am for art, but for art that has nothing to do with art. art has everything to do with life, but it has nothing to do with art.

An ambition is a little creeper that creeps and creeps in your heart night and day, singing a little song, "come and find me, come and find me."

Government shutdowns do not actually become what the term implies. two-thirds of the government cannot shut down. we're only talking about the third of government that's discretionary spending, and even at that, nobody loses their jobs, and nobody loses their thanksgiving turkey. the whole thing has resulted from the republican party thinking they bought the farm back in 1995.

What art was to the ancient world, science is to the modern: the distinctive faculty. in the minds of men the useful has succeeded to the beautiful. instead of the city of the violet crown, a lancashire village has expanded into a mighty region of factories and warehouses. yet, rightly understood, manchester is as great a human exploit; as athens.
