I think the best architecture comes from a synthesis of all the elements that separately comprise a building: the structure that holds it up; the services that allow it to function; its ecology; the quality of natural light; the symbolism of the form; the relationship of the building to the skyline or the streetscape; and, perhaps most importantly, the client's vision and the user's needs.

2007年：贝索斯致股东信《我们改变工具，工具也改变我们》

The past is not dead, it is not even past.

小说是人类发现的微妙相互关系的最高范例。它是生命之书。从这个意义上说，圣经是一部伟大的混乱小说。你可能会说，它是关于上帝的。但它实际上是关于活着的人。

我们都是自己的幽灵，游荡在自己的生命里。

我相信讲故事的力量。正是通过故事，我们彼此联系并理解人类的经历。
