I would like to mention that I have flown the 262 first in May '43. At this time the aircraft was completely secret. I first knew of the existence of this aircraft only early in '42 - even in my position. This aircraft didn't have any priority in design or production.

In regards to being a fashion aficionado there's a certain amount of taking yourself seriously in the professional world. The self-effacing person can't completely go down the serious road. But I design and love when things are beautiful.

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

If I ever completely lost my nervousness I would be frightened half to death.

It comes with faith for with complete faith there is no fear of what faces you in life or death.

There are hundreds of Frank Lloyd Wright buildings around the United States and in other countries too. Wright lived into his 90s and one of his most famous buildings the Guggenheim Museum in New York was completed just before his death. Wright buildings look like Wright buildings - that is their paradox.

Tears are sometimes an inappropriate response to death. When a life has been lived completely honestly completely successfully or just completely the correct response to death's perfect punctuation mark is a smile.

The human consciousness is really homogeneous. There is no complete forgetting even in death.

Disease generally begins that equality which death completes.

Death not merely ends life it also bestows upon it a silent completeness snatched from the hazardous flux to which all things human are subject.
