"I think there are two ways you can see the world. You either see the sadness that's behind everything or you choose to keep it all out."

"We hope that it will be unlike anything else on this earth: a fair, amusement park, an exhibition, a city from the Arabian Nights, a metropolis of the future, in fact, a place of hopes and dreams, facts and fancy, all in one."
