I don’t want my art to be comfortable. I want it to make people think.

The meaning of earthly existence lies not, as we have grown used to thinking, in prospering but in the development of the soul.

Light is the most important element in architecture. Without light, there is no space.

The most valuable resource we extract isn't coal—it's the talent and dedication of our people.

The only way to achieve the impossible is to believe it is possible.

——2002年6月温铁军在清华大学的一次讲座

我的作品不是要让人看懂，而是要让人感受到。
