We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. Medicine, law, business, engineering: these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love...these are what we stay alive for.

The boundaries of our knowledge are the frontiers of our imagination.

最好的建筑既是永恒的，又是及时的。
