The nature of space reflects what it wants to be.

Architecture appears for the first time when the sunlight hits a wall. The sunlight did not know what it was before it hit a wall.

I sense Light as the giver of all presences, and material as spent Light. What is made by Light casts a shadow, and the shadow belongs to Light.

We are born of light. The seasons are felt through light. We only know the world as it is evoked by light.

The sun never knew how great it was until it hit the side of a building.

A great building must begin with the unmeasurable, must go through measurable means when it is being designed and in the end must be unmeasurable.

Even a room which must be dark needs at least a crack of light to know how dark it is.

Design is not making beauty, beauty emerges from selection, affinities, integration, love.

A city is the place of availabilities. It is the place where a small boy, as he walks through it, may see something that will tell him what he wants to do his whole life.

Even a brick wants to be something

The creation of art is not the fulfillment of a need but the creation of a need. The world never needed Beethoven's Fifth Symphony until he created it. Now we could not live without it.

We find ourselves in the pursuit of our dreams.

The truth is no one should hold you at a higher standard than yourself

As Borges has taught us, all the books in the library are contemporary. Great poems are like granaries: they are always ready to enlarge their store.

This has serveral consequences, starting with screwing over most cryptography algorithms--translation: all your bank account are belong to us--

If I read our story backwards, it's about how I un-broke your heart, and then we were happy until one day, you forgot about me forever.

I've lost a lot of jobs because I was too pretty. And everybody's like "Oh, poor you." But seriously, you don't get the good roles when you're beautiful.

When a ball goes into a net it only means something because we decided it means something. When somebody punches somebody in the face it always means something.

Fear lives in the head. And courage lives in the heart. The job is to get from one to the other.

Industry jargon may not be a language your customer understands.

You can't just stick with what you know, you have to evolve.
