A building should be rooted in its place, but reach out to the world.

Failure gave me an inner security that I had never attained by passing examinations. Failure taught me things about myself that I could have learned no other way.

The more you know, the more you realize you don't know.

In the end, we all have to face the consequences of our actions, no matter how much we try to avoid them.
