"A library is a place where the past meets the present and the future."

过去是一个跟随我们的影子，一个困扰我们的幽灵。

人们永远不会注意到已经做了什么；人们只能看到还有待完成的事情。

Architecture is a human act that transforms nature into culture.

The best way to predict the future is to create it.

The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes.

可持续发展已不再是一种选择，而是我们对后代的责任。

We don't need another hero.

Freedom is not something that anybody can be given. Freedom is something people take, and people are as free as they want to be.
