László Tóth

Nothing is of its own explanation. Is there a better description of a cube than that of its construction? There was a war on. And yet it is my understanding that many of the sites of my projects have survived. They remain there still in the city. When the terrible recollections of what happened in Europe cease to humiliate us, I expect for them to serve instead as a political stimulus, sparking the upheavals that so frequently occur in the cycles of peoplehood. I already anticipate a communal rhetoric of anger and fear. A whole river of such frivolities may flow undammed. But my buildings were devised to endure such erosion of the Danube's shoreline.

What a poetic reply.

László Tóth

Because they do not want us here.

Of course Attila wants us here.

László Tóth

Not Attila.

Then who do you mean?

László Tóth

The people here, they do not want us here. Audrey, Attila's Catholic wife, does not want us here! She does not want us here! We are nothing. We are worse than nothing.
