I wanted to build something that was my own, something I could point to and say, I made that. It was the only way I saw to make life meaningful.
我想建立一些属于自己的东西，一些我可以指着说，这是我做的。这是我看到的唯一让生活有意义的方式。
I’m not here to please everyone. I’m here to be true to myself.
我不是人，我是过程。
The money came between us like a ghost, and I could not touch her hand without feeling that chill.
译文：有钱人家习惯了奢侈无度，教导子弟却成了难事；贫穷人家要谋生计，还是要靠读书获得出路。赏析：衣食无忧的家庭虽然能给孩子提供良好的物质条件，但也最容易让孩子养成穷奢极侈的作风。读书也许不是人生唯一的出路，但却是普通人最好走的那条路，这条路成本最低。
最好的建筑是人性化的。
