The greatest architecture comes from listening - listening to the land, listening to the people, listening to the needs of the community.

I don't let the world define my beauty.

生活不是等待暴风雨过去，而是学会在雨中跳舞。

I want to make a difference in the world.

——在上海中国国民党本部会议演说，1920年11月4日

You forget what you want to remember, and you remember what you want to forget.

建筑是凝固的音乐。

We don't inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children.
