"I write about people who are desperate, who are on the edge, who have no other options."

I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use—silence, exile, and cunning.

The spirit of moderation should also be the spirit of the lawgiver.

可持续性不是一种选择；它是我们星球未来的必需品。

I want to be remembered as someone who was kind and made people happy.

Architecture should be generous - generous with space, with light, with possibility.
