“Life is truth.”

The primitive ideals of centralization are now largely self-defeating. Human crucifixion by vertically on the now static checkerboard of the old city is pattern already in agony; yet for lack of any organic planning it is going on and on-not living, but rather hanging by its eyebrows from its nervous system.

The longer I live, the more beautiful life becomes.

The belief in a thing makes it happen.

Bring out the nature of the materials. Let their nature intimately into your scheme.

Nature is my manifestation of God.

The ultimate creative thinking technique is to think like God. If you’re an atheist, pretend how God would do it.

I know the price of success: dedication, hard work, and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen.

I prefer honest arrogance to hypocritical modesty.

Maybe we can show government how to operate better as a result of better architecture.

A man is a fool if he drinks before he reaches the age of 50, and a fool if he doesn’t afterward.

I don’t know whether you are a saint or a fool said my lawyer. I replied Is there a difference?

The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of our own civilization.

If you wisely invest in beauty, it will remain with you all the days of your life.

Now a work of art is a work of nature, but it is a work of human nature. It is a work of the mind: and it’s a work of the mind in circumstances for an occasion which, to which, for which, and which it may be supremely natural and simple and effective.

The human race built most nobly when limitations were greatest.

The only thing wrong with architecture is architects.

Every time I start to get worked up over something, I just think to myself, ‘Is this really going to matter in my life tomorrow, in an hour, in a year?’ You just can’t get stressed about the little things ’cause it’s just not worth it at the end of the day.

Don’t focus so hard on creating your best life that you wind up missing your life along the way.

But to mean it when I say that I want my life to count for His glory is to drive a stake through the heart of self – a painful and determined dying to me that must be a part of every day I live.

I’m committed to evolving and growing and sitting at the head of my own table with no fears or limitations. But I’ve also learned to be more open now and more spontaneous in life.

It is not God’s will that you limp along in life believing that you are inadequate.

I could sit right here and have a 15-minute conversation with somebody and change their whole life.

December is her month to let go and break open with freedom to be her own hero.

He could only give her a world in black and white. And all she wanted was a life of color.
