Architecture is the thoughtful making of space

Architecture appears for the first time when the sunlight hits a wall. The sunlight did not know what it was before it hit a wall.

I sense Light as the giver of all presences, and material as spent Light. What is made by Light casts a shadow, and the shadow belongs to Light.

We are born of light. The seasons are felt through light. We only know the world as it is evoked by light.

The sun never knew how great it was until it hit the side of a building.

A great building must begin with the unmeasurable, must go through measurable means when it is being designed and in the end must be unmeasurable.

Even a room which must be dark needs at least a crack of light to know how dark it is.

Design is not making beauty, beauty emerges from selection, affinities, integration, love.

A city is the place of availabilities. It is the place where a small boy, as he walks through it, may see something that will tell him what he wants to do his whole life.

Even a brick wants to be something

The creation of art is not the fulfillment of a need but the creation of a need. The world never needed Beethoven's Fifth Symphony until he created it. Now we could not live without it.

To succeed, one must be creative and persistent.

Listen to the technology; find out what it's telling you.

You might be a redneck if you refer to the time you won a free case of oil as the day my ship came in.

Just a huge credit goes to the GM Goodwrench team and all my teammates that went before me. It's been a good weekend for us so far and hopefully we can put it all together tomorrow night.

Luck? Luck is hard work - and realizing what is opportunity and what isn't.

Some people become so expert at reading between the lines they don't read the lines.

I'm not only a romanticist but a romantic myself. I take it for granted the originality matters.

Every time you defeat a temptation, you become more like Jesus!

When you fall in love with golf, you seldom fall easy. Itʹs obsession at first sight.
