Space and light and order. Those are the things that men need just as much as they need bread or a place to sleep.
Meaning of the quote
People need more than just food and a place to live. They also need things like space, light, and order in their lives. These things are just as important for people to feel happy and comfortable. The architect Le Corbusier understood that these simple elements can make a big difference in how people experience their surroundings and feel about themselves.
