Architecture tends to consume everything else, it has become one's entire life.Arne Jacobsen

But inspiration? - That's when you come home from abroad and are asked: Well, have you found inspiration? - and fortunately you haven't. But the impressions sink in, of course, and may emerge later: None of us has invented the house that was done many thousands of years ago.Arne Jacobsen

I don't see that any buildings should be excluded from the term architecture, as long as they are done properly.Arne Jacobsen

If a building becomes architecture, then it is art.Arne Jacobsen

If architecture had nothing to do with art, it would be astonishingly easy to build houses, but the architect's task - his most difficult task - is always that of selecting.Arne Jacobsen

In addressing a task, one almost always has several possible options, sometimes only a few, and they may all be practical and functional. But they lack the aesthetic aspect that raises it to architecture.Arne Jacobsen
