I think Miss Monroe as architecture is extremely good architecture, and she's a very natural actress, and a very good one.

The good building is not one that hurts the landscape, but one which makes the landscape more beautiful than it was before the building was built.

Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.

It is infinitely easier to suffer in obedience to a human command than to accept suffering as free, responsible men.

Circumcision , that's all I've ever talked about.

I don't do well with changes in my routine. I read at least three newspapers a day, for example. I'm frustrated if for some reason I can't get ahold of all three.

For nothing, how little soever, that is suffered for God's sake, can pass without merit in the sight of God.
