I believe that we must understand the economy of the situation.

In other words, I have no truck for anyone who goes out and does an eclectic building.

And a building must be like a human being. It must have a wholeness about it, something that is very important.

But now I know that it is very important that all buildings should be consistent, that this is the quality of the Gothic cathedral, for instance, that we like.

We build buildings which are terribly restless. And buildings don't go anywhere. They shouldn't be restless.

The purpose of architecture is to create an atmosphere in which man can live, work, and enjoy.

And exciting buildings are fine periodically.

And I feel that we in our society should not be held by any such myth; that we should do everything we can to gain a delight and joy in our society with all the available parts of the palette.

And sometimes I'm criticized. But I think that if those who criticize us will look at the reason why the shape is this, well then, I think that they would not object so strenuously.

And I like the idea of change. Because I don't see why we should hang a painting on the wall and then just not think of it anymore because it's there like a piece of furniture.

Being the gateway to a large city, St. Louis, I had felt from the very beginning that somehow this building should symbolize this sense of being a gateway.

Inner peace comes from the Creator.

People say love isn’t supposed to be painful. But maybe the best things in life are the ones that hurt the most after they’re gone.

The main thing between you and God is not so much your sins

A successful presentation needs to be both buttoned up (orderly) and free-flowing (a conversation). The tension between the two, the fact that both things are happening at once, defines the process.

I like Beyonce's music - some of it, not all of it.

The lower you fall, the higher you'll fly. The farther you run, the more God wants you back.

I have myself to respect, but to myself I am not amiable; but my friend is my amiableness personified.

I shall die very young...maybe seventy, maybe eighty, maybe ninety. But I shall be very young.

Being joyful is a choice.

THANKS: Be Grateful for what God has given you GIVING: Be Faithful with what God has given you.
