To write what you think is to think what you write. Leave those of hollow to their dust. They are but sorry things.

The trouble with a baby, for writists, is that they take away your useful melancholy, even the energy to invent some.

Nothing fills the world quite as poetry does. A poet need not dwell on the pagecount of his life.

I haven't written in a week. It's like holding your breath under water. You feel an awful constriction and then the instinct to propel yourself.

Like a father with his daughter, the writist plays peek-a-boo with the world. His aim is to evoke that sweet smile, the one that says "i remember you. I am glad you are here again".

For me, architecture is not just creating a space to protect people but to make them dream as well.

To me it was fascinating, the idea of going to university and studying a subject - architecture - that I had already faced in building some small houses.

Great architecture of the past was always clear. SFMOMA is still a simple building to understand.

Church architecture describes visually the idea of the sacred, which is a fundamental need of man.

Buildings in modern cities have lost their metaphoric aspect. Much contemporary architecture is very fragmented and busy on the outside. It's like a skin or a skull, but you don't know what's inside.

A museum is a spiritual place. People lower their voices when they get close to art.

Problems that remain persistently insoluble should always be suspected as questions asked in the wrong way

Science has explained nothing the more we know the more fantastic the world becomes and the profounder the surrounding darkness.

The extreme limit of wisdom, that's what the public calls madness.

It is easy now to communicate with people through abstraction, and particularly so in sculpture. Since the whole body reacts to its presence, people become themselves a living part of the whole.

There are things that I am very proud of and there are things that you are not so proud of. But I think that applies to any musician.

If you are not too large for the place you occupy, you are too small for it.

In my column series 'The Main Thing,' I often talk about how Internet technology can improve the way people communicate - both within a business and between a business and its customers and partners.

The designated driver program, it's not a desirable job. But if you ever get sucked into doing it, drop them off at the wrong house.

That would be cool if the earth's crust was made out of graham cracker. It would disappear just like the ozone layer, but for completely different reasons.

You will attract everything that you require.
