Architecture is a social art; it must respond to the needs of society.

I'm just a woman. And as a woman， I have no way to make money， not enough to earn a living and support my family. Even if I had my own money， which I don’t， it would belong to my husband the minute we were married. If we had children they would belong to him， not me. They would be his property. So don’t sit there and tell me that marriage isn’t an economic proposition， because it is.

I don't want other people to decide who I am. I want to decide that for myself.
