建筑的任务是为人类生活创造一个框架。

【译文】 孔子说：“明智的人喜欢水，仁慈的人喜欢山；明智的人好动，仁慈的人好静；明智的人快乐，仁慈的人长寿。”

"We always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next ten. Don't let yourself be lulled into inaction."

每座建筑至少有两种生命——设计者想象的生命和它后来实际经历的生命。

A Book of Verses underneath the Bough, A Jug of Wine, a Loaf of Bread—and Thou Beside me singing in the Wilderness— Oh, Wilderness were Paradise enow!
