- Inspiration
- It is not the right angle that attracts me, nor the straight, hard, inflexible line created by man. What attracts me is the free and sensual curve, the curve I find in the mountains of my country, in the sinuous course of its rivers, in the waves of the sea, in the body of the favorite woman. The entire universe is made of curves, Einstein's curved universe. Niemeyer, Oscar, The Curves of Time: Oscar Niemeyer's memoirs
