Writing is the only way I have to explain my own life to myself.

Architecture is the learned game, correct and magnificent, of forms assembled in the light.

歌唱就是双倍的祈祷。

我不想成为国王，我想成为神。

生活对我们任何人来说都不容易。但那又怎样？我们必须有毅力，最重要的是对自己有信心。我们必须相信我们在某方面是有天赋的，而且这个目标必须实现。

You must not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible； and if it is humanly possible， consider it to be within your reach.

Architecture is the art of making the earth habitable.

We must listen to indigenous knowledge—they've been practicing sustainable forestry for centuries.

我不怕失败，我怕不去尝试。

The job of the architect today is to create beautiful buildings. That's all.

The best things in life are free.
