The Twin Towers of Greatness


"I feel this way about it. World trade means world peace and consequently the World Trade Center buildings in New York ... had a bigger purpose than just to provide room for tenants. The World Trade Center is a living symbol of man's dedication to world peace ... beyond the compelling need to make this a monument to world peace, the World Trade Center should, because of its importance, become a representation of man's belief in humanity, his need for individual dignity, his beliefs in the cooperation of men, and through cooperation, his ability to find greatness."
— Minoru Yamasaki

はい、賛成です!この悲惨の日あはいつまでも、人間の偉大さを求める能力は阻まれた日として覚えられると良いと思います。

I agree! I hope this tragic day is forever remembered as the day Man's ability to find greatness was thwarted.
(Sorry, I had to put that in Japanese because it was, after all, Minoru Yamasaki who phrased it that way).
