If you have white walls, human beings look better in a room than if you have red walls.

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.

Behind every successful woman are people who bring out the best in her, encourage her and cheer her on!

Better be a desperate single with options than a desperate married with no options.

Fearlessness is like a muscle. The more you exercise it, the more natural it becomes to not let your fears run you.

What can I give Him, Poor as I am? If I were a shepherd I would bring a lamb. If I were a Wise Man I would do my part. Yet what can I give Him? I give Him my heart.

Try to do your best to look people in the eye and talk to them without a gadget being in between you all the time.

I hate that impeccable, perfectly perfect look, all matched and prearranged. Style is to be simple.

I'm really interested in the intersection between reputation, identity, and knowledge.

Our gazes met. It seemed an entire conversation took place in that one glance. Each of us saw what we needed to know.

Gamma rays are the sort of radiation you should avoid. Want proof? Just remember how the comic strip character "The Hulk" became big, green, and ugly.

Happiness is not so much in having as sharing. We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
