More From Louis Kahn

Your ancestors fought for you to have a share in that institution over there. it's yours. see the school board, and every friday night hold your meetings there. have your wives clean it up saturday morning for the children to enter monday. your organization is not a praying institution. it's a fighting institution. it's an educational institution along industrial lines. pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living!
Friday Monday Morning
The horseman serves the horse, the neat-herd serves the neat, the merchant serves the purse, the eater serves his meat; 'tis the day of the chattel, web to weave, and corn to grind, things are in the saddle, and ride mankind.

I used to not like being called a 'woman architect.' i'm an architect, not just a woman architect. the guys used to tap me on the head and say 'you're ok for a girl.' but i see an incredible amount of need from other women for reassurance that it can be done, so i don't mind anymore.

In low-income countries, getting to a health post is hard. it's very expensive.

I would just say it's not good for the country to have 11 million people here who we don't know who they are, where they're living. they're not paying taxes, but they're showing up in emergency rooms. they're driving up the cost of auto insurance 'cause they don't have driver's licenses and are getting into accidents. they're having children, which are us citizens. so, i mean, it's an issue that needs to be dealt with.
